Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup quinoa
5 cups chicken broth, or as needed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse quinoa twice and drain well.
  • Pour chicken broth into a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir quinoa into onion mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa is toasted and coated in oil, about 3 minutes.
  • Slowly pour wine over quinoa mixture; cook and stir until wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Ladle 1/2 cup chicken broth over quinoa mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Continue ladling broth, 1/2 cup at a time, over quinoa mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa is tender and has burst, about 20 minutes. You may not use all the chicken broth.
  • Mix Parmesan cheese and cream into quinoa mixture; season with marjoram, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of chicken broth to make quinoa more creamy, if desired.
