Total Time: 2 1/2 - 3 hours cook time.

Yield: About 6 servings

Source: Modified from a recipe in the book "The Healthy Slow Cooker".

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cups organic, low sodium chicken broth
• 12 oz quinoa
• 1 14 oz. can artichoke hearts
• 1 12 oz. package chicken sausage
• 1/4 cup minced sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Steps:

5. Add your tomatoes.

 
6. Add your oregano.

 
7. Add your sausages, cut in half.

 
8. Season with sea salt and pepper, mix well.

 
9. I cooked mine on high for 4 hours. While it was still very good, it was over-cooked. I think 2 1/2 - 3 hours would have been plenty.
