Steam Brussels sprouts

Rinse quinoa, set to side

Slice thinly onion and garlic, caramelize them in melted butter on low-medium heat. Place in a large bowl

Using the same pot, pour in water, bring to boil. Add in rinsed quinoa, turn down heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast walnut halves. Dump onto caramelized onion/garlic, along with dried cranberries

By now your quinoa is done. Take off from heat, open lid, and fluff the quinoa. Let cool to room temperature.

By now Brussels sprouts are done as well. Let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, slice the bottom end of each sprouts and peel the leaves one by one, add them into the bowl along with cooled quinoa.

Drizzle olive oil, season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine well.
