And Again

I found another quinoa recipe, and now it is my new favorite. The chili's give it a little kick and the lime juice makes it even better. I found it on delish.com, which is one of my favorite recipe sites.

Quinoa with Latin Flavors
1 cup(s) quinoa,
2 teaspoon(s) canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can(s) (4 ounce) chopped green chiles
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 can(s) (14 ounce) reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
1/4 cup(s) pepitas, toasted (pepitas are pumpkin seeds)
3/4 cup(s) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup(s) chopped scallions
2 tablespoon(s) lime juice


1. Toast quinoa in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it crackles and becomes aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly.

2.Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chiles and garlic; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa and broth; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

3.Add pepitas, cilantro, scallions, lime juice and salt to the quinoa; mix gently and fluff with a fork.
