Cheesy Zucchini Quinoa





This is a twist on the traditional broccoli/rice/cheese dish.  I love quinoa....it is my favorite grain.  This is a very simple side dish to make and a great way to use some of the zucchini you may grow in your garden.

CHEESY ZUCCHINI QUINOA (Serves 4)

1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, or water
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 cup cheddar, shredded
S&P to taste

Bring the quinoa and broth to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat and simmer covered until  the broth has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in the zucchini, cheese, S&P.
