Instructions

1. Cook quinoa: Combine quinoa and broth/water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. 2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add cooked quinoa and minced garlic. Press the quinoa down into an even layer and cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, until a crispy layer forms on the bottom. 3. Stir the quinoa and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5-10 minutes, until most of the quinoa is lightly crisped and golden. Remove from heat. 4. Chop fresh parsley and mint. In a large bowl, combine the crispy quinoa, chopped herbs, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. 5. Serve the crispy quinoa warm, topped with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and crumbled feta if desired.
