Steamed/Sautéed Veggies over Quinoa

I love quick meals.

Last week I wanted to have flavorful steamed veggies over quinoa for dinner.  I remembered that I had some leftover “broth” from one of the raw dishes I enjoyed on the cleanse.

I sautéed a little olive oil, onion and garlic in a large skillet for a couple of minutes.  I added sliced fennel and sautéed for two minutes.  I added a handful of snow peas and 3 leaves of kale (torn from the stem) and poured about 1/4 cup of coconut broth* over the vegetables, covered and simmered for 5 – 8 minutes (until the broth cooked down).  I served it over reheated quinoa.

Delicious!

*Coconut Broth (from Udon Noodle Soup ~ Raw Chef Roxanne Klein)

* 1 ¼ c coconut water (I bought a young coconut and used fresh coconut water)
* ½ T tamari
* ¼ t toasted sesame oil
* Garlic and ginger to taste
* 1 pinch sea salt
* 1 T green onion, minced

In a blender, blend all ingredients until liquefied. (Hold back foam when pouring over vegetables.)
