Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup dry red quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 cups thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 small head radicchio
  • 1 1/2 cups diced apple
  • 1/4 cup salted pepitas or nut of choice
  • 3 Tbsp. goat cheese

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • nonstick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Bring quinoa and vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa fluffs with a fork. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; set aside.
  2. Heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add Brussels and shallots; cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until golden-brown and softened. Add to bowl with quinoa.
  3. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil, orange juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme; stir with a whisk.
  4. Cut the radicchio head in half lengthwise. Remove the core from the radicchio head, and gently break into separate leaves. Add radicchio, apple, and orange-thyme vinaigrette to the bowl with quinoa; gently toss to combine. Top with pepitas and goat cheese.
