A delicious side dish that goes with just about anything. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup uncooked quinoa |
2 cups chicken broth |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
3/4 cup frozen peas |
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese (such as locatelli®), divided |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the quinoa, and cook 2 minutes until toasted. Pour in the chicken broth, onion, garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Cover, and let come to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the frozen peas. Recover, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the chicken stock, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Stir in half of the Pecorino Romano cheese and the parsley until evenly mixed. Scoop the quinoa into a serving dish, and sprinkle with the remaining Pecorino Romano cheese to serve.
