Comment préparer Versatile Quinoa Pilaf

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups of vegetable broth (or water), 1 cup of canned diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a base for your favorite bowls and salads.
