Quinoa Pilaf
Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com
i don't even know what gnocchi is or how you are supposed to eat it but it looks DELICIOUS! Just plan to add recipes when you cook something, ok? How did you make them so uniform in appearance? Is there a special gnocchi tool? : P
ReplyDeletegnocchi is a kind of potato dumpling - you're supposed to make it with potatoes but matty's mom gave me her recipe how to make it with ricotta cheese - this time, however, i used the leftover mashed potatoes to make it. i'll post the recipe and next time we're in jax i'll show you how to make it - it's good! and, yes, smarty pants - we have a special tool to make those markings - in fact i'll post a picture of that too
