Directions:

  1. Broil pepper halves 4 in. from the heat until skin blisters, about 10 minutes, turning once. Finely chop pepper; set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, heat oil and buttery spread over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, 1/2 cup nuts and bay leaves; cook and stir until onion is tender. Add mixed vegetables, garlic and reserved serrano pepper; cook 4-5 minutes longer. Stir in orange, lemon juice, peels, pepper and salt.
  4. Gently stir quinoa into vegetable mixture; discard bay leaves. Sprinkle with remaining Brazil nuts. Yield: 4 servings.
