Ingredients




1 cup quinoa (see note below)
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium red onion, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard (optional)

Preparation

1 Note: This recipe calls for boxed, commercially-available quinoa, not unwashed quinoa. 2 Put quinoa and chicken stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmering, cover, and cook till stock is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. (With quinoa, the grain appears soft and in red quinoa, the “germ ring” which is white, will become visible after cooked). If stock is not yet absorbed, turn off heat and let set for a few more minutes. 3 Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and pepper and cook on medium for 5-7 minutes. Halfway through the sauteing time, add Worcestershire, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and dried mustard, and stir. When sauteing is done, add this to the quinoa, stir, and serve.
