      2 c  Whole Brussels sprouts

      2 c  Water

    1/4 ts Salt

      1 tb Olive oil

      2 c  Quinoa

  In a 3-qt. pot, bring chickpeas, kombu and soaking water to a boil.
  Cover, reduce heat to medium and boil for 2 hours.  Add water as
  necessary so that water just covers the chickpeas.
  Remove 2 c. liquid from the pot and set aside in a 2-qt. pot.  Place
  onions, carrots and turnips on top of the chickpeas and add enough
  water or stock to just cover vegetables.  Add salt, garlic, bay,
  cumin, pepper and olive oil.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Reduce to
  light boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Add Brussels sprouts and cook an
  additional 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
  While vegetables and chickpeas continue to cook, add 2 c. water and
  salt to the stock in the 2-qt. pot and bring to a boil.  Heat a thin
  pan, add oil and, while stirring continuously, toast quinoa for 10
  minutes. Add to boiling stock, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.
  Remove from heat. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.  Gently mix from
  top to bottom with a damp wooden spoon.  Cover pot and allow to rest
  for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  Serve by placing a large mound of quinoa on each individual plate.
  Flatten the mound in the center and fill with vegetables and
  chickpeas. Pour 1/2 c. of hot stock over all and serve hot.
