Carrot Chickpea And Quinoa Melange

You must try this wonderful combination of flavors. It provides lots of protein for vegetarians, but it's also a great side dish for a simple grilled meat entree. I think you could substitute rice for the qunioa if it's not available to you. The next time i make this, i think i'm going to stir in some fresh chopped spinach just before serving instead of the parsley.

Steps

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add garlic , cayenne , and cumin and stir 30 seconds.
Add carrots , garbanzos , and broth and bring to boil.
Add quinoa and simmer , covered , 30 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all liquid.
Season with salt and pepper and stir in parsley.
