Quinoa is a great, gluten-free grain with a slightly nutty taste that is packed with protein and the only grain that is a perfect protein. Sick of eating rice? There are lots of great dishes you can make with quinoa. Here’s my personal recipe.
1 cup organic quinoa
2 cups organic low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp dried onion
3 shakes of turmeric
12 olives
- add quinoa, dried onion and olives to pot
- shake on turmeric
- mix evenly
- add 2 cups low sodium chicken broth and water
- bring to a full boil for 1 minute
- cover and set to medium for 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender and chewy
Enjoy as a side dish or add cooked greens to make a veggie bowl.
