Directions
Heat olive oil in any CanCooker on a medium-to-medium low heat source. Add broccoli, sauté until crisp-tender, remove from CanCooker, cover and set aside.
Add quinoa and garlic; cook and stir 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Stir in broth, lemon zest, lemon juice and seasonings; bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat, add broccoli and let stand, covered, until any remaining broth is absorbed, 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.
