Quinoa is a cereal that was not accidentally declared one of the healthiest in the world. Once it was worshiped by the Indians, now - by nutritionists. The content of nutrients in this cereal makes it a natural pill for everyone who lacks vitamins and minerals. There is more squirrel in quinoa than in the famous champion - Greek. If you cook a casserole from this healthy cereal, cottage cheese and broccoli, you get a dish that is equally suitable for athletes and children who are losing weight and gaining muscle mass.

- - 300 grams of broccoli;
- - 1 cup of quinoa;
- - 3 chicken eggs;
- - 1 cup of cottage cheese 5% fat;

Instructions
Step 1
Some housewives are still puzzled by the "Inca groats". But from how to cook quinoa to what to serve it with, everything is quite simple. Treat quinoa the same way you would with rice. That is, to boil quinoa, take one cup of cereal and two cups of cold water. Pour the liquid into the pan first, then add the cereal. Simmer the quinoa, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until all the water has evaporated. Salt shortly before cooking - quinoa, like rice, absorbs salt very well. Ready-made quinoa is a great side dish, base for salads and casseroles.
Step 2
Disassemble the broccoli into flowers. Rinse under cool running water. Boil a liter of water, lightly salt it. Boil broccoli for no longer than 7-10 minutes, depending on how large your buds and young cabbage are. If you are cooking frozen broccoli, place the product in boiling water without thawing and cook for about 15 minutes after boiling the water again. Drain and let the cabbage dry slightly.
Step 3
While the cabbage is cooking, you can whisk the eggs lightly, toss them with the cottage cheese, flour and quinoa, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Add cooled broccoli to the curd mass, mix and place in a baking dish. Bake in an oven preheated to 175 ° C for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and cook for another 5 minutes.
