Broccoli quinoa with cheese





One of the staple casseroles I grew up with was broccoli rice casserole. It involved frozen broccoli, Velveeta cheese, instant rice and cream of something or another soup. This happens in Iowa.

This recipe reminds me of that, only perhaps without quite the cardiac-arrest quotient.
 
Cheesy broccoli quinoa
Adapted from Closet Cooking via the weekly Yummly report that I somehow accidentally signed up for.

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
1½ cups water
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Method
Bring quinoa, water and broccoli to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cooked covered until broth is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Rating: Tasty, and super fast and easy. Good weeknight side dish.

Oh, and today I ran across what Dave really would like for Christmas, if we had a spare half mil:http://discussions.probrewer.com/showthread.php?41986-Authentic-Farmhouse-Brewery-in-Western-WI-For-Sale
