BROCCOLI AND GREEN BEAN QUINOA (WITH BROCCOLI PESTO)
This recipe is an adaptation of Heidi Swanson's Double Broccoli Quinoa recipe over at 101 cookbooks. I added green beans and adjusted the pesto dressing to remove the dairy.

Steps:
- Break down your broccoli into small florets. Peel and chop the stems. You will use 2 cups of the stems and less attractive florets for the pesto and leave the remaining 3 cups of beautiful florets for the quinoa dish.
- Boil the 2 cups of broccoli stems for the pesto until they are cooked through. Drain.
- Now boil the 3 cups of broccoli and the 3 cups of green beans.
- While the broccoli and green beans are cooking, create your pesto. Using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the broccoli with the oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, almond pieces and mayonnaise. Add garlic salt, pepper and dill to taste. I use my immersion blender in a large mason jar and it works perfectly. Set aside.
- Once the broccoli and green beans are cooked to your liking, remove from the water. Add the rinsed quinoa to the broccoli/green bean water and boil for about 5-10 minutes (until the quinoa gets fluffy and the little tails pop out). Drain the quinoa.
- Throw the quinoa and the vegetables back into the pot and mix well. Add about 1/2 of the pesto to the quinoa mix, combine well and taste. Continue to add the pesto and taste until it is to your liking. Any left over pesto can be stored for later. Add any final seasonings to adjust the dish based on your personal tastes and enjoy!

- In a medium saucepan, heat the quinoa with 2 cups water until boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed and quinoa fluffs up, about 15 minutes. Quinoa is done when the seeds have sprouted. Set aside.
- Heat a large pot of water to boiling and add the broccoli. Cook just long enough to take the raw taste out and until broccoli is bright green. About 90 seconds. Drain broccoli and rinse with cold water to stop broccoli from continuing to cook. Set aside.
- To make the broccoli pesto, puree 2 cups of the cooked broccoli, garlic, 1/3 cup of the almonds,1/3 cup of the parmesan, salt and lemon juice in a food processor. Drizzle in the olive oil and cream and pulse until nearly smooth.
- Just before serving, toss the quinoa and remaining broccoli florets with the broccoli pesto. Taste and you might decide to add more lemon juice or salt at this time. Add the remaining 1/3 cup parmesan cheese and taste. Add more if you like.
