First, begin by cooking the quinoa per the bag instructions, but substitute chicken broth for water. The instructions are simple to follow and only require you to bring the broth to a boil. Afterward, add the quinoa, cover the pan, reduce the heat, and let simmer for up to 12 minutes. Last, remove the quinoa from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional five minutes. Then fluff and serve.

Next, while the quinoa cooks, cut your sausage into circular pieces, combine them with the frozen vegetables, and let the mixture cook in a large saute pan over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
Last, put 1/4 of the quinoa into a bowl and top it with 1/4 of the vegetables and sausage. Serve the dish while it's hot and use salt and pepper to taste.
