    This is my New Favorite food combo! I did pan roast, char the asparagus a bit, before adding it into the quinoa mixture. It gave it a bit of a smokey-lemon flavor combination that I loved! I also find this to be very filling and satisfying as a main dish! Meatless!! Huh, who would have thought?

    I simplified this recipe and rinsed my quinoa. Added it to a skillet. Added can of chicken broth and lemon juice to equal two cups liquid. Added italian seasoning and garlic powder. Let it simmer low and slow.
    Topped with fresh green onions.
    I really enjoyed the simple and freshness of the flavors.
