For a vegan option, omit the goat cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative. Feel free to add other vegetables to the quinoa mixture, such as diced zucchini, eggplant or carrots. If you don't have stewed tomatoes, you can use regular diced tomatoes with a pinch of sugar and a dash of dried herbs like oregano and basil. To enhance the flavor, toast the walnut pieces in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the mixture.
