Quinoa Pilaf

Recipe type: Side Dish

Ingredients

2 cups quinoa
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced onion
½ cup diced carrot
4 cups vegetable broth
¼ cup fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

Rinse quinoa well in cold water until the water runs clear (this removes the slightly bitter coating).
Shake quinoa in a dry, medium-hot pan until lightly toasted.
Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft.
Add carrot, quinoa, and vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat until low and cook until liquid is absorbed - 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let pilaf stand, covered for an additional 10 minutes.
Stir in parsley and fluff with fork. Serve at room temperature.
