Description

This Fall-inspired sweet and savory nutty salad is just delicious.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Uncooked Quinoa
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (or Water If You Prefer)
  • ½ teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1  Small Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt (or More If You Prefer)
  • ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried Cranberries, More Or Less As Desired
  • ¼ teaspoons Herbes De Provence
  • Pecans, Optional Garnish

Preparation

1. Cook your quinoa by combining it with the chicken broth in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, top with the lid and turn heat down to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.

2. While quinoa is cooking, add the oil into a medium pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. Add your onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Cook until the onions are translucent, around 8 minutes.

3. Combine the cooked quinoa with the sauteed onions and add cranberries and herbs de Provence. Taste test. Need more salt? If it does, consider adding another 1/4 teaspoon or less.

4. Garnish with pecans and enjoy as a meal or as a side dish to roasted chicken or maybe a nice pork tenderloin chop.
