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 recipe is so easy to make and it's just SO good. The onions make it extra flavorful and it's buttery and tasty and filling. I make it with almost every kind of meat. It goes well with anything!!

Yum. I made exactly as the recipe dictated...and then threw in more pine nuts for good measure. Delish!

Substituting quinoa for rice and haven't found the perfect recipe. This isn't it.
