Healthy quinoa becomes even more delicious when simmered in chicken broth with sweet grape tomatoes, then mixed with plenty of grated cheddar at the very end. The porridge will be chewy, delicious, and full of multifaceted flavor. Top it with baked broccoli and slices of warmed-over cooked turkey sausage for a complete and satisfying meal. It's ready in just half an hour. A great idea for a quick weeknight dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, quinoa, chicken broth, tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese and parsley. Cover to keep the quinoa warm.
Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the sausage to the baking sheet. Roast in the oven until the broccoli begins to brown and the sausage is heated through, 15-18 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice the sausage. Serve the quinoa with the sausage and broccoli, garnished with additional cheese.
