Make

  1. Quinoa - {Double if making Tuesday's dinner} Combine quinoa with 2x the amount of water in a saucepan. Add in a generous dash of salt. Bring to a boil covered. Lower heat, keep covered, and cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  2. Chop parsley and slice lemons. Enjoy your warm cacciatore sprinkled with parsley over quinoa (remember to save half for Tuesday's dinner if you doubled). Serve with lemon wedges to add some brightness!
