How to Make Quinoa With Creamy Garlic Sauce
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced (or roasted) garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced zucchini and cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Stir in the quinoa, vegetable broth, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
