Quinoa-Sunchoke Pilaf

Directions

Place the quinoa in a large bowl; fill with cold water.

Pour into a strainer, then return the quinoa to the bowl and rinse 4 times more.

Drain well.

Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until it cracks and pops, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.

Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high heat.

Add the chickpeas, sunchokes, peas, and pepper, and return to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.

Fluff with a fork.
