Quinoa and Summer Vegetable Stir-Fry Recipe. Double Broccoli Quinoa Recipe. This double broccoli quinoa bowl is a favorite of mine. I cook up lots of broccoli, then puree half of it into a pesto. The other half is cut into little florets. Tossed with some quinoa, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of feisty chile pepper oil, it makes a nice meal and I hope you like it as much as I do.

If you don't have quinoa, you can certainly swap in a pasta or any number of other foundation ingredients. Farro would be nice, millet might work, barley, pearled barley, or even your favorite brown rice. If you're in the mood for something a bit more substantial - let's say for dinner or something - I do different versions. Sometimes I serve the broccoli quinoa over an omelette, other times I might have it with a poached egg on top. I should mention that I do like this served with a bit of feta crumbled on top. Heat the quinoa and set aside. Now barely cook the broccoli by pouring 3/4 cup water into a large pot and bringing it to a simmer.
