Serves 6
Quinoa is naturally wheat and gluten free and is a good source of complete protein for vegans and vegetarians. Try it in this quick and flavorful pilaf.
Ingredients
Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Small red onion, chopped
Cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
Cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
/2 teaspoon salt
/3 cup dried cranberries
/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Method
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add quinoa and toast, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in broth and salt and bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cranberries, cover again and continue to cook until liquid is completely absorbed and quinoa is tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Toss with almonds and serve.
