Easy Stovetop One Pot Broccoli Quinoa ready in only 25 minutes! The result is perfectly cheesy and tasty quinoa with broccoli. I use frozen broccoli florets to save even more time when making this dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsps herbs de provence
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 cup coconut milk or cashew milk (or use additional vegetable broth)
- 2 – 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups broccoli florets (I use organic frozen)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1 tbsp bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- pinch hot pepper flakes.
Instructions
- In a large and deep pan, over medium-high heat, saute onion, shallot and garlic with herbs and balsamic vinegar until soft. Add a splash of water when necessary to keep the onions from sticking to the pan.
- Add quinoa to the pan and stir it for about a minute with the onion-garlic mixture. This helps to “toast” the quinoa a bit, making it all the more flavorful in the final dish.
- Add the milk (if using) and two cups of vegetable broth.
- Cover the pan and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Add the broccoli to the quinoa and cover the pan again. Cook for an additional 5 – 10 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy (the quinoa will cook in total for 15 to 20 minutes). Add up to half a cup more vegetable broth, if necessary. Stir in the nutritional yeast.
- Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast , and hot pepper flakes
