Dish Name: Savory Pantry Quinoa Pilaf
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
-
Rinse Quinoa: Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water for about a minute. This helps to remove any bitterness.
-
Sauté Onion: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed quinoa to the saucepan, along with the garlic powder and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and toast the quinoa for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Cook Quinoa: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
-
Add Chickpeas: Once the quinoa is cooked, add the drained chickpeas. Stir well and allow the mixture to sit for another 5 minutes to heat through the chickpeas and meld the flavors together.
-
Fluff & Serve: Use a fork to fluff the quinoa pilaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.
