Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup quinoa, preferably red, rinsed well in a fine-mesh sieve
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
1/4 cup unsalted, shelled raw pistachios, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add quinoa and cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa starts to toast and smell nutty, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until quinoa is tender, 25-30 minutes (15 if using white quinoa). Remove pan from heat, fluff quinoa with a fork. Cover; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Fold pistachios, parsley, and mint into quinoa. Season with salt and pepper.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I had some leftover from a previous meal and decided to try this recipe. It was delicious! The pistachios and dried cranberries added a lot of flavor.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The red quinoa is fluffy and flavorful, and the pistachios add a nice nutty flavor. I also like to add some dried cranberries for a bit of sweetness.
