Quinoa Pilaf With Pine Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups low sodium chicken broth
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

Preparation

Rinse quinoa gently.
Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cover, cooking for 15 - 20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, toast pine nuts in a dry hot pan until brown and fragrant.
Add oil to the same pan used to toast the pine nuts and saute the onions. Cook onions until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
When quinoa is done, fluff with fork and transfer to serving bowl. Add caramelized onions, pine nuts and chopped parsley to the quinoa. Season with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil to taste.
