Mediterranean Succotash with Quinoa

> 2 medium zucchini, chopped

> 2 medium red bell peppers, chopped

> 2 garlic cloves, minced

> 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

> salt and pepper to taste

> 1 cup quinoa

> 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

Bring vegetable broth to a boil and add zucchini, bell peppers and garlic in a large saucepan. Cook until vegetable are cooked, about 8 minutes.

Stir in beans and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Cook quinoa according to package. Serve the succotash over quinoa, and sprinkle with cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
