Curried Quinoa and Chickpeas image

Quinoa contains more protein than other grains, and that protein is of unusually high quality for a plant food. That makes this a great filling main dish and the blend of flavors and colors will bring everyone at the table back for more. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

CARROT, CHICKPEA AND QUINOA MELANGE



Carrot, Chickpea and Quinoa Melange image

You must try this wonderful combination of flavors. It provides lots of protein for vegetarians, but it's also a great side dish for a simple grilled meat entree. I think you could substitute rice for the qunioa if it's not available to you. The next time I make this, I think I'm going to stir in some fresh chopped spinach just before serving instead of the parsley.
