Ingredients

2-3 c. cooked quinoa
1 T. coconut oil
½ c. yellow onion chopped
½ c. red bell pepper chopped
½ c. carrot grated
2 ½ c. broccoli florets chopped into bite-size pieces
¼ c. water
2 scallions
a handful of cilantro or parsley
salt as needed for taste
SATAY SAUCE:
3 T. peanut butter
2 T. soy sauce
1 ½ t. fresh garlic minced
2 t. fresh ginger minced
2 T. honey or maple syrup
2 T. fresh 100% orange juice
¼ t. red pepper flakes

Instructions

Begin by heating a small saucepan over low heat.
Add all of the ingredients for the sauce and let them warm a bit.
Stir everything until it emulsifies and thickens a bit.
Remove from heat and let it sit while you prepare the vegetables.
Add the coconut oil to a skillet.
Add in the onion and saute for about three minutes.
Add in the bell pepper and carrot and cook for another minute.
Add in the broccoli and saute the mix for about one minute, just until the broccoli turns bright green.
Add in the 1/4 cup of water, cover the pan, and let the mix cook on medium low for 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is fork-tender.
Add the sauce into the vegetable mix, and stir until everything is well-coated.
Stir in the scallions and cilantro or parsley.
Season, as desired.
Serve atop a bed of quinoa, and enjoy!
