A great way to use that cauliflower and broccoli hiding somewhere in your fridge or freezer … and yet another use for the easy, tasty lemon vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
- broccoli, Chinese broccoli, or broccolini, cut into bite-size pieces
- sweet pepper, chopped
- mushrooms, sliced or quartered
- cooked or canned chickpeas
- cooked quinoa (optional)
- homemade broth, store-bought broth, or water
- lemon vinaigrette
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400º.
- Steam the cauliflower and broccoli until just starting to soften, starting to check at 6 minutes. (Alternatively, microwave, starting with 1 minute and adding 30 second intervals as needed.) Drain.
- In a baking dish, place the cauliflower, broccoli, sweet pepper, mushrooms, chickpeas, and quinoa. Mix and level in one layer if possible. Pour just enough broth to moisten the mixture so it can steam but not burn.
- Bake, uncovered, until the vegetables are cooked through, checking at 20 minutes and adding more broth if needed. When cooked through, pour the vinaigrette over the mixture and stir. If desired, broil to brown the top and serve.
