Great Latin Quinoa

Ingredients

Directions

Toast quinoa in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it crackles and becomes aromatic, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly.

Heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add green chiles and garlic, cook, stirring, for 40 seconds.

Add the rinsed quinoa and chicken broth(or vegetable broth); bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to maintain a light simmer, then cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Add pumpkin seeds(or sunflower seeds), cilantro, scallions, lime juice and salt to the quinoa.

Mix them gently and fluff with a fork.

Serve warm.

Reviews

I think quinoa is an excellent gain, it can absorb any flavor you add into, fantastic taste, and I used fresh green and red chiles, they were really spicy but very tasty, but you don't love spicy, you should reduce the amount of the chiles. 25 days ago by lover
