How to Make Spanish Quinoa
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the rinsed quinoa and toast, stirring frequently, until the grains are lightly golden brown and fragrant (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add 1 medium chopped onion to the saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in 1 1/2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. Stir in 1 teaspoon of chili powder.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Spanish Quinoa!
