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
Instructions
- Put the broth and quinoa in a medium sized saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and grain is tender.
- Meanwhile, toast the nuts in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove nuts from pan and set aside. Heat the oil in the same skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to brown, about 6 minutes.
- When the quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large serving bowl. Stir in the pine nuts, onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

We loved this! Healthy and yummy!!
This is very simple and tasty! I have served it with fish, chicken and steak. The pine nuts add a nice crunch
This was very tasty. I served it with a Greek style roast chicken. Everyone loved the combination.
I was looking for an easy way to spruce up my quinoa. This was simple and tasty. It will become a staple.
Very Tasty! I think this is a great side dish recipe.
Totally disliked this recipe….guess I just don’t like quinoa???
I thought this was a great, simple way to eat quinoa. I hadn’t had much experience cooking quinoa and wanted a simple side that would go well with grilled fish, chicken, etc… This was perfect.
I love quinoa, but this lacked some serious flavor….sorry Ellie
Wow! This in incredible! Quinoa is my favorite new grain and this is a delicious way to fix it for dinner! The pine nuts INCREASE the nuttiness of the quinoa.
Made it on the fly so I switched pecans for the pine nuts and left out the parsley, didn’t have either. My husband and I enjoyed it!
