Sautee quinoa in olive oil and then gradually add the vegetable broth as you would with a risotto. Let it simmer for about 35 minutes, the cereal grains should become slightly larger. Remove from the flame, drain and cool. Cut the mango into small pieces. Flavor with honey, lime juice, vanilla seeds, hazelnut oil and a bit of sea salt and pepper.
Cut the lime into sections and add it to the mangos with the pecans and finely chopped basil.
Cut the soft goat chese into pieces and layer with the quinoa and mangos.
