Quinoa Sunchoke Pilaf - not TNT

1/2 cup quinoa

2 Tbsp oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1-1/4 cup vegetable broth

3/4 cup chickpeas, cooked or canned, (drained and

rinsed)

1 cup sunchokes, peeled and chopped

1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen

1/4 tsp pepper

 

 

 

 

Place the quinoa in a large bowl; fill with cold

water. Pour into a strainer, then return the quinoa to

the bowl and rinse 4 times more. Drain well.

 

Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high

heat. Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until

it cracks and pops, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the

onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.

 

Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high

heat. Add the chickpeas, sunchokes, peas, and pepper,

and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer,

covered, 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
