Summer Veggie Quinoa
Ingredients
1/3 cup (85g) white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp molasses (or honey)
3 small (360g) zucchini or yellow squash or mix of both, halved
1 medium (110g) white onion, cut into thick chunks
1 medium (120g) red bell pepper, cut into thick chunks
2 medium (180g) carrots, quartered
2 3/4 cups (600g) low-sodium vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups (255g) uncooked quinoa
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Directions
Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and molasses in a large bowl or zip top plastic bag. Add zucchini, onion, bell pepper and carrots; seal and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes while quinoa cooks.
Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; stir in quinoa. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat (400–425°F). Drain vegetables, reserving marinade.
Grill vegetables in a grill basket or on a greased grill grate for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until tender. Cool slightly and chop vegetables into bite-size pieces.
Combine quinoa, grilled vegetables, chopped basil and reserved marinade in a large bowl. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
