Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
• 2 cups uncooked quinoa
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided

Preparation

Step 1

1.Heat the oil in a large nonstick pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the uncooked quinoa and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute for another 1 minute to add flavor to the quinoa. Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes. When the quinoa is done, it will be soft throughout. Fluff with a fork and toss with fresh minced parsley.
