Quinoa and sweet potatoes

Another great winter recipe which is perfect comfort food in this wintry weather.

These are the ingredients:

Ingredients
1.5 cups quinoa, rinsed thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer
1 cup broth (chicken or veggie)
1/8 to 1/4 cup oil (I used Garlic Grapeseed)
1 onion, chopped (I used 1/2 red and 1 small white)
1 bulb of fennel, chopped (optional) 
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
2-3 teaspoons dried thyme
3 medium sweet potatoes, washed and cut into bit size pieces* 
1 cup frozen edamame (baby soybeans)
1 bunch greens, washed and finely chopped (kale or collards would be my first 2 choices, but use what you've got)
1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds, roasted
fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

*smaller pieces = reduced cooking time
