PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Cut the zucchini and peppers into similar sizes to ensure they cook at the same rate as the broccoli.
- 2Toast the dry quinoa in the pot for 2 minutes before adding water to enhance its natural nutty flavor.
