Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12 minutes, until the broth is absorbed.

A few minutes before the quinoa is done, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onion, celery, and bell peppers and saute for 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the cooked quinoa and mix well. Stir in the sage and pine nuts, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
