Directions

Add quinoa in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, toast until it becomes aromatic and begins to crackle, 4 to 6 minutes.

Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly.

Meanwhile, add broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Stir in the quinoa and return to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat to a gently simmer and cook gently for 8 or 9 minutes.

Remove the lid and, without disturbing the quinoa, add thawed soy beans.

Cover and continue to cook until the soy bean and quinoa are tender, about 8 minutes longer.

Drain any remaining water, if needed.

Add lemon zest and juice, oil, tarragon and salt in a large bowl, and whisk until well combine.

Stir in peppers and the quinoa mixture.

Gently toss to combine.

Divide among 4 plates.

Top with toasted walnuts and serve warm.
