Instructions
1
Wash the quinoa under running water. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pan. Then add the quinoa and cook until the kernels have popped open, about 20 minutes. Drain.
2
Wash the broccoli and chop in a food processor into pieces the size of rice grains. If you don’t have a food processor, you can mince it with a knife, though this will take a bit longer. Either way, the broccoli needs to be in tiny pieces.
3
Peel and finely chop the carrot and onion.
4
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet and lightly fry the onion and carrot for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring often.
5
Then add the broccoli and stir for 4–5 more minutes.
6
Add the chickpeas and soy sauce to the skillet. Cook the ingredients for a few more minutes, stirring to make sure they don't burn.
7
Finally, add the quinoa and mix in with the vegetables and chickpeas. Stir over low heat for a couple of minutes to infuse the flavors. Check the seasoning and adjust with salt if needed. Serve on plates.
