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

This dish was so easy to make and so delicious! I used brown rice instead of quinoa and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix. Will definitely be making this again!
