I got this recipe for quinoa with pesto from a friend living in Ecuador. Quinoa was a staple of her diet there; it is a great source of protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1 tomato, diced
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid is completely absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat; stir pesto into quinoa. Fold tomato into mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
