Today’s post is all about my version of Heidi Swansons Double Broccoli Quinoa.
This is a healthy quick and super yummie dish you can eat either as a salad or as a side dish with a nice piece of grilled fish or meat.
Broccoli quinoa
You can also prepare this with rice in stead of quinoa or you might use bulgur if you like.
You must check out Heidi’s blog 101 cookbooks, a really beautiful and yummie blog!
Yummie combination
For this recipe you need approximately 30 minutes, I see it as an alternative for the quinoa with peamousse and mint they serve at Exqi.
You can vary with your spices by using cilantro in stead of basil and you can add grated parmesan cheese as Heidi does in the original recipe.
Mix everything well together
