Quinoa with Broccoli

Here is an old recipe I came across which I remembered to be so delicious even though it was part of a cleanse. I think I might have to make this again soon!

This recipe is courtesy of Whole Foods (with some minor adjustments, Stephanie style).

Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable/chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
Salt to taste
1 cup small broccoli florets
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup roasted cashew pieces
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Method
Heat oil over medium heat in a medium pot. Add onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, broth, wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Stir in quinoa and salt. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Arrange broccoli on top of quinoa, cover and simmer for an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to plates and serve garnished with cashews and green onions.

This is pretty filling, but if you want to add some extra protein, I would just saute a chicken cutlet with a bit of s&p and you will have a nice meal!
