**Medicine**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups of vegetable broth
– 1 cup of quinoa, rinsed
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of turmeric
– 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
– 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add in the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until all the broth is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through. Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, stirring occasionally for about 3-4 minutes.

3. Stir in the minced garlic, turmeric, and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant. The vibrant colors and aroma will start to fill your kitchen, awakening your senses.

4. Add in the mixed vegetables of your choice, such as carrots, bell peppers, and peas. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender yet still crisp, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they retain their beautiful colors and nutrients.

5. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, gently fold in the cooked quinoa, ensuring that the flavors meld together beautifully. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.

6. Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse and create a harmonious blend of wholesome goodness.

7. Serve the “Medicine” dish warm in a cozy bowl, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Each spoonful is a reminder to savor the moment and nurture your body with the care it deserves.
