Directions
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 large onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Salt and pepper
Put the broth and quinoa in a medium sized saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and grain is tender.
Meanwhile, toast the nuts in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove nuts from pan and set aside. Heat the oil in the same skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to brown, about 6 minutes.
When the quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large serving bowl. Stir in the pine nuts, onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

This is a perfect compliment to so many dishes. We made it with roasted veggies, pan fried panko crusted rock fish. WOW!! So healthy and tasty. We layered the quinoa with the veggies and topped it with the fish. Amazing.
