NAVA ATLAS'S QUINOA PILAF
Contributed to "Vegan Holiday Kitchen" by Barbara Pollak, a longtime reader of Ms. Atlas's, this pilaf is attractive when made with a combination of red and white quinoa, but either color can be used on its own. It is a veggie-filled way to celebrate quinoa's becoming standard Passover fare.

Steps:
- Combine the quinoa with the broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat, cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Test to see if the quinoa is done to your liking; if needed, add another 1/2 cup water and simmer until absorbed.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onions and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onion is golden.
- Add the cabbage, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, ginger, basil, thyme and lemon juice to the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley and dill, remove from the heat, and serve.
