BROCCOLI QUINOA CASSEROLE RECIPE

It’s a better broccoli casserole with the substitution of quinoa for rice. This dish has a slightly nutty flavor from the quinoa, creamy, smooth texture from the cheese, and fresh crunch from the broccoli.  In addition, all the nutrition that quinoa packs make this a winning combo.

WHAT IS QUINOA?

Quinoa is a seed, not a grain. However, quinoa is a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids, something rare to find in a plant product. One cup of cooked quinoa contains 222 calories and 4 grams of fat; there are 39 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of protein. It has 15 percent of the daily value for iron and is also a good source of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E.

Quinoa is also a gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole food. As well as it’s naturally kosher.

WHAT DOES QUINOA TASTE LIKE?

It has a nutty flavor, but fluffy texture. It easily takes on whatever sauce or flavor you add to it.

Dice broccoli and green onion
Add veggies to quinoa
Boil 12 minutes
Make cream sauce
After milk is added and sauce comes to a boil,
add cheese and stir until melted
Drain quinoa and veggie and add to cheese mixture.
Place in a casserole dish and bake 20 minutes.

    Our family loves a good broccoli rice casserole too! I'm following you via GFC. I host Fluster Creative Muster Party on Wednesdays and I would love it if you would come by and party with us. Hope to see you there!

    I just found your blog through the Grow Your Blog Hop and as I scrolled down I saw this awesome recipe. Growing up I ate cheesy rice [ aka Rice A Roni's Broccoli Cheddar Rice ] and would literally eat half a box for dinner. Since I'm a vegetarian quinoa is a super food for me so I can't wait to try this! Thanks, Shannon [ lifeofpoole.blogspot.com ]
