Calories 249kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa pre-rinsed
- 1-3/4 cups gluten free chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat then add garlic and saute until barely golden brown, 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add quinoa then toast for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add chicken broth then turn heat up to high to bring to a boil. Place a lid on top then turn heat down to low and cook until nearly all the liquid has been absorbed and quinoa is tender, 12-15 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese then serve.
Notes
- Look for pre-rinsed quinoa at the grocery store. I like Bob's Red Mill Quinoa.
