Ingredients:

• 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
2. While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork tenderloin and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic, red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the pork and vegetable mixture.
5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
