Quinoa with Fried Onions Recipe

  • quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 medium onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Ground black pepper
  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold running water until the water turns clear.
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa begins to soften. Remove from the heat and drain.
  3. Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut into 1/8″ to 1/4″ slices. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they soften and brown. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary to prevent burning.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa, onions, parsley, cheese, and pepper to taste. Toss well. Serve as a side dish.
