rare around here for a long time for some reason.

Sunchoke Pilaf

 

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 peeled, chopped sunchokes

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.

What is quinoa similar to? I have been a vegetarian for a while, but I am

chicken in trying new things. I am really good at experimenting and creating

new recipes with my exsisting favorite food, but willing to try somethings! So

what is the flavor and texture of Quinoa? Thanks for all of your wonderful

recipes!

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
