Quinoa With Leeks

 

1 large leek

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and pepper (optional)

1 cup quinoa, washed

2 cups chicken-style broth (vegan)

 

Cut the leek in half and then in half lengthwise. Cut into thin

strips, place them in a bowl of cold water and rinse them very well.

Shake them dry and place in a skillet with the olive oil. Cook over

medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until they start to go limp. Stir

in the garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for one minute more. Now add the

quinoa and the broth. Bring it to a boil, reduce it to a simmer, cover

it and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Serves two as a main course

or four as a side dish.
