Method
Fill your Lil Legacy Pan with an inch of fresh water. Salt it well. Bring it to a steady boil.
Add the quinoa. Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for about 8 minutes, until the grains open and soften.
Add the chopped broccoli. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes more, until tender and vividly green.
Turn off the heat. Crumble in the bouillon and stir while everything is still hot.
Spoon into a bowl. Finish with Braggs or soy sauce and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Eat slowly. Listen to the broccoli. It has opinions.

Story
Welcome back to Heirloom Recipes, where we recreate the favourite dishes of history’s most fascinating humans. Uncovering the stories and flavours that shaped the people who shaped us. We’ve survived Capone’s pasta, simmered Johnny Cash’s chilli, and shared the Pope’s alfajores. Today we step sideways into the kitchen of David Lynch to recreate his surreally simple favourite: Broccoli Quinoa. It’s easy. Or is it? Actually, it is. Before Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, and a lifetime of cinematic fever dreams, David Lynch was just a man with big hair and a recipe he made daily. As the story goes, he didn’t inherit this recipe. The recipe inherited him. The original story then takes a deliberately Lynchian turn: Lynch is alone in a room when a strange visitor emerges and instructs him to cook quinoa and broccoli. From there, the dish becomes a joke about approaching an extraordinarily simple meal with the same precision, oddness and mystery Lynch brought to his films. The result is quinoa, broccoli, stock, seasoning and olive oil. Simple enough. Probably. Every great recipe deserves a soundtrack. Here’s a playlist to set the scene. Music from David Lynch’s soundtracks and songs he loved. Press play. Grab your pan. And follow the recipe wherever it leads.
