How much quinoa do I need to cook? That is the question because it will expand during cooking. Quinoa comes as little grains so it is easy to over-estimate (and I will raise up my hand to admit I do this every single time). Quinoa is an amazing superfood, packing the highest amount of protein per gram (including all essential amino acids), plus fibre, calcium, omega-3, magnesium, vitamin E etc. Similarly, brussels sprout pack a hefty amount of fibre, Vitamins K and C, folate, protein, iron and other micronutrients. I guess I am very lucky to have a natural love towards brussels sprout and I do not have to force myself to eat all that goodness.
This vegan, simple and nutritious meal is one of my favourites and I find it is amazing after a workout. It can also double as a terrific lunch for the next day after your leftovers will soak up all the flavours. It is very quick and easy to make and if you do not have all ingredients on hand, just substitute! The possibilities are endless!
