I got inspiration for this from Quinoa Graham Kerr's cooking show.
(Graham Kerr's Kitchen). The original called for real beef; I modified it
to leave that out and the 1 tsp of oil. IMHO, I think the Gimme Lean can be
left out and chickpeas or some other bean could be used, but I wanted to
try it this way first. YMMV

In a nonstick dutch oven, saute the onion and garlic in veggie broth for
twothree minutes. Add the Gimme Lean, breaking it up with the spatula as
it cooks. (Use more veggie broth as needed). Let this cook for about five
minutes while you prepare the quinoa:

Rinse the quinoa in cold water and drain. Bring the two cups water to boil
and add the quinoa. Cook 1015 minutes, until quinoa has absorbed the
water and you can see the white germ ring.

While the quinoa is cooking, add the remaining ingredients (except the
spices) to the dutch oven and stir while cooking. When the quinoa is
cooked, add it to the dutch oven and stir to combine. Add herbs and spices
and cook a few minutes more to soften the parsley. Taste and respice as
needed.

Graham Kerr served this with potatoes that had been mashed with parsley and
buttermilk piped on to the plate. Then the quinoa stuff was put inside the
potato ring. I didn't get that fancy; I just served the quinoa stuff on a
plate w/out potatoes.
