Preparation
Step 1
Cook your quinoa -- subbing 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar for some of the water required. My quinoa stated 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water, so I used 1/4 cup ACV and 1 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover for 8 minutes.
Remove from heat, uncover, and allow to "fluff"
In a separate pan, combine white beans (rinsed & mashed), cheese, butter, milk, and basil.
Melt over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Once melted, add cooked quinoa in and peas.
Serve as a side dish or on its own!
