Ingredients

FOR QUINOA:

1 tbs olive oil

1 cup quinoa, rinsed well

1 1/4 cup vegetable stock

1 clove garlic

1 onion divided in half, 1/2 chopped fine, 1/2 diced

FOR VEGETABLES

1 carrot, diced

1/2 celeriac, diced

1 medium turnip, diced

FOR BALSAMIC DRESSING

1tsp grain mustard

3/4 tsp honey

3 tbs good balsamic vinegar

2 tbs olive oil

salt/pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400

In a large bowl, combine mustard, honey, vinegar, oil and whisk well. Season to taste.

Toss diced onions, carrots, celeriac and turnips in dressing and coat well. Pour vegetables on baking sheet and roast until tender, about 15 - 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Add rinsed quinoa and stir to coat. Add broth and bring to a boil, then cover pot and simmer quinoa for 15 minutes or until broth is absorbed.

Once quinoa and vegetables are finished cooking, fluff quinoa with a fork and add roasted vegetables. Season to taste.

The balsamic dressing over the veggies was very nice, though I discovered I wasn't a big fan of turnips. I found celeriac at my local co-op.
