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.
