1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
Cauliflower, raw, 1 head, medium (chopped)
Zucchini, 1.5 cup, (chopped)
3.5 cups Garbanzo beans (I used Eden's Organic)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp. olive oil

- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste

Here is how you make High Protein Vegan Quinoa Pilaf:

Mix quinoa with vegetable broth (I used two cups of water and 1/2 tbsp. Rapunzel veggie broth powder) in medium sauce pan and bring to boil. Once boiling, cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is mostly absorbed, and the little "tails" begin to separate.Meanwhile: steam chopped cauliflower & zucchini until soft, but not mushy. Add chickpeas, to soften, if desired.When quinoa and veggies are cooked, mix together in a large bowl with nutritional yeast, olive oil and additional seasonings. Eat warm or chilled.(If you have a rice cooker: cook quinoa in rice cooker, and steam veggies using the steamer attachment for the rice cooker, if you have one. Saves a few dishes!)Serving Size:?1/5 recipeNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KIMBROOKINS.
