Number Of Ingredients 7

quinoa
1 cup water
2 medium onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the quinoa under cold running water until the water turns clear.
  • 2. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa begins to soften. Remove from the heat and drain.
  • 3. Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut into 1/8" to 1/4" slices. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they soften and brown. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary to prevent burning.
  • 4. In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa, onions, parsley, cheese, and pepper to taste. Toss well. Serve as a side dish.
