Quinoa with Toasted Almonds and Sauteed Onions

Quinoa is generally thought of as some uber healthy dish that often isnt something we do somersaults about.... Kind of like kale...really great for us, but, as far as taste buds go, we can easily like without it. But if you know anything about me, I make some kickin' kale.....

So, without further adieu....Ladies and gentlemen....Introducing my kickin' quinoa recipe....

2 cups veggie broth

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1/3 cup toasted almonds, chopped

1 TSBSP olive oil

1/2 large onion, chopped

1/3 cup chopped italian flat leaf parsley

Salt and pepper

Place the broth and the quinoa in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to low, cover, and let it cook about 20 minutes until the quinoa is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, toast the nuts in a large dry skillet until fragrant - but watch these suckers! Remove the nuts from heat. In the same skillet, sautee the onions in the olive oil until they begin to brown (this is the magic point for the flavor). Once the quinoa is done, toss the onions, nuts, and parsley together and enjoy!

YUMM...
