The Broccoli Quinoa Skillet is ready to eat within 30 minutes and makes a perfect midweek meal for the family.

1 tbsp	olive oil
1 medium	shallot, finely chopped
4 cups	broccoli, fresh; chopped florets
3 cloves	garlic, minced
1/4 tsp	salt
1/4 tsp	pepper
3/4 cup	quinoa, uncooked
1 1/2 cups	chicken stock, or vegetable stock
1 15 oz can	white beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup	parmesan cheese, freshly grated
3 tbsp	parsley, fresh; chopped

Step 1
Heat a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium low. Add half the oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the shallot. Cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes, not allowing the shallot to brown.
Step 2
Add the broccoli, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 additional minutes. Remove the broccoli and shallots from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the quinoa and let toast for 1 minute, stirring often and scraping up along the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat. Cover and let simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 12 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the white beans and broccoli mixture and cook until warmed through, about 2 additional minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Step 6
Taste and add additional salt or pepper as desired. Serve hot, with additional Parmesan.
