Quinoa Pilaf: It's What's for Dinner

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth or water (beef or chicken broth would also be good, for you carnivores)
1 bunch broccoli
1 large carrot
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons tahini

Directions:
1. Rinse the quinoa well. Place in saucepan with liquid and bring to boiling. Reduce to simmer and cover.
2. Cut the veggies into bite-sized pieces and add to quinoa. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid and the veggies are tender, about twenty minutes.
3. While the quinoa and veggies are cooking, toast the sesame seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat until they start to smell. Brad thinks it's been too long of they start popping, but I think they're just right then.
4. Stir toasted sesame seeds and tahini into pilaf. Smacznego!

This recipe is my own variation on the Carrot-Sesame-Quinoa Pilaf in the Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook. James loves quinoa.
