Add a photoThis is an easy and tasty side dish we served with stuffed chicken breast. The original recipe called for bulgur, but we had quinoa on hand and I think it worked wonderfully.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa (or coarse bulgur)
- 1/3 cup sliced green onion
- 1/3 cup chopped mushroom (we used a wild mushroom mix)
- 14 oz low sodium chicken broth or stock
- 2 Tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
- 2 Tbsp pine nuts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet.
- Add quinoa, green onions, mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
- Stir in chicken stock and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered for 5 minutes.
- Stir in parsley and pine nuts, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve

Hello John...thank you for your invite to become a friend to my very recent intro to this very interesting community of food lovers.
I took a quick look at some of your recipes...I find that there were a few that I will consider trying.
For now...the fact that I'm looking forward to eating more protein rich Quinoa grain (especially the red kind)...I will take your fine recipe and tweak it a little by replacing the pine nuts with some roasted hazel nuts.
I'll keep you updated on when my 'hubby' and I get to taste your latest recipe.
You seem to be doing very dedicated kitchen duties...keep up your passions and thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend,

I tried this recipe the other night and loved it!! But instead of using parsley I used a little bit of cilantro. It was so good! Thanks for sharing.
