Method

  1. Rinse the quinoa for thirty seconds. Soften the onion in the oil 4 minutes, add the garlic and quinoa for a minute, then the broth, and simmer covered 15 minutes.
  2. Add the broccoli and beans for the last 5 minutes with the lid on, until the florets are bright green.
  3. Off the heat, beat in the yogurt, cottage cheese and Parmesan until the skillet turns creamy. Finish with the parsley; taste and salt if needed.
Chef’s tipBroccoli in the steam. Five minutes under the lid, not in the liquid. Boiled broccoli in a skillet dish goes gray and loses the point of it.
Make it twoDoubles in a wide pan. It thickens as it cools; loosen with broth rather than water.
