Steps:
- Dice medium sized shallot. Melt butter in skillet on low heat. (Can substitute olive oil if desired, but butter will result in a better flavor.) Add diced shallot and cook until soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add quinoa and stir. Make sure quinoa is coated with oil. Add red wine -- a full bodied, fruity wine like Merlot is best. Red wine should just cover quinoa. Allow red wine to cook down before adding chicken broth. Add chicken broth slowly, a little at a time. Stir occasionally. Continue adding chicken broth until quinoa is soft. When ready to finish, add another dash of red wine, turn the heat up, and allow the red wine to cook off. Turn stove off. Drizzle with truffle oil to taste and stir. Serve. Makes 2 servings. Top with parmesan.
