📝 Preparation Steps
1
Roast the broccoli and Brussels sprouts according to the instructions here and here. Set aside.
2
In a blender, purée the white beans with the garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and ⅓ cup of the vegetable stock. As soon as you have a smooth and creamy purée, stop the blender. Set the bean purée aside.

3
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a braiser or medium-sized soup pot over medium heat. Add the shallots, and sauté until transluscent, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add the fresh thyme and stir until fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute.
4
Add the rinsed quinoa to the pot and stir to coat in the oil, herbs, and shallots. Then, add the remaining 2 cups of vegetable stock to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the quinoa has absorbed almost all of the liquid, about 13 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.

Scrape the white bean puree into the pot and stir to combine. The quinoa should have a creamy consistency without seeming dry. If it seems dry, add a good splash of vegetable stock.

Season the risotto with salt and pepper. Add half of the parsley to the pot and stir to mix throughout. Divide the quinoa risotto among 4 bowls. Top all portions of risotto with the roasted vegetables and remaining parsley. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top if you like. Serve hot.
