Instructions
1. clean, chop, and prep your vegetables. Place vegetables, quinoa, wild rice, broth, fresh cranberries, and seasoning in crock pot. Pour your broth and orange juice on top and mix thoroughly.
2. Important Note each slow cooker works differently. If you don't want your broccoli overcooked, please add it the last half hour of cooking versus at the beginning.
3. Place on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours. Check half way and mix ingredients in pot with spoon. see notes for if pilaf is too dry or too wet halfway through cooking
4. Quinoa should be fluffy once done. The wild rice will still be a little al dente.
5. Remove and place all contents in a large bowl.
6. Mix in the remaining pilaf ingredients. Seeds, feta, dried cranberries, and any extra fresh raw vegetables you might want to use up.
7. Add salt, pepper, and any other spices desired.
8. mix again.
9. Top with fresh herbs.
10. Serve immediately or store in fridge (covered) until ready to serve.
