Parmesan Garlic Quinoa

Parmesan Garlic Quinoa

What you'll need:

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water

1 small onion chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves of garlic (minced)

2 teaspoons dried basil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

How to make it happen:

Step 1:Rinse quinoa in cold water until water runs clear.  

Step 2: Heat up your olive oil in a large sauce pan and saute your onions for 4-5 minutes. Throw in your garlic for a minute, stirring so it doesn't burn.

Step 3: Add in your water and quinoa and cover the pot, bringing the water to a boil.

Step 4: Bring down to low and allow to simmer. Quinoa should take about 15 minutes to cook, look for almost all the water to be absorbed

Step 5: Mix in your salt, basil, black pepper and 1/3 cup of your cheese.
