Hearty and delicious – this recipe is garden fresh yet has a rich depth bound by proteiny quinoa and complex smoky barbacoa. Can be whipped up in way under an hour, but tastes as if it’s been simmering all day long. The rotating texture of vegetables from cooked to blanched to raw, hits the spot all year long!
