Coconut Vegetable Quinoa

The other day I was searching for a side dish for Shrimp Kabobs. My Hubby got these Jumbo Shrimp from costco and what is a better way than to make kabobs out of those Jumbo Shrimp. So the menu for dinner was Shrimp Kababs with Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Onions with Mediterranean rice and Potatoes and the Coconut Vegetable Quinoa. The dinner was a hit. My daughter just loved the Quinoa and so did I and here is the recipe.

Coconut Vegetable Quinoa (Quinoa with different vegetables in coconut milk)
Coconut Vegetable Quinoa
Ingredients:
  1. 1 cup Quinoa
  2. 1 cup fresh Broccoli chopped
  3. 1/4 cup corn
  4. 1 large carrot chopped
  5. 1/4 cup black beans (optional)
  6. 1 cup coconut milk
  7. 1 cup chicken broth
  8. Salt if needed
  9. a pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Wash the quinoa under running water. In a pan bring the broth and coconut milk to a boil. Add the Quinoa and cook for 1/2 the time the cooking instructions say (mine said 12 min, so after 6 minutes...) add the vegetables and mix. Cover and continue cooking. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy
