A healthy, savory quinoa recipe that goes with just about everything.
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed (I prefer tricolor, but any color will work)
1¼ cups unsalted chicken stock
1 small onion, diced
1 tbs butter
½ tsp salt, plus a pinch for the onion
Instructions
Rinse your quinoa.
Melt the butter over medium to medium high heat. Add the onion, along with a pinch of salt, and saute for 5 minutes until the onion is softened but not brown.
Add the quinoa to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the seeds are slightly toasted.
Pour in the stock and ½ tsp salt. Stir.
Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, and let sit covered for 5-10 minutes.
