1
Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop the seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces. If using tougher vegetables like carrots or potatoes, consider pre-cooking them slightly before adding to the mix.

3
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped seasonal vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs. Toss gently to combine.
5
Serve
Serve warm as a main dish or side. Enjoy your Local Rotator!
