Herbed Quinoa recipe

Quinoa is so good for you! It is a good source of protein, calcium, fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. Eating healthy can be toothsome!

Herbed Quinoa
ingredients:
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 cups unsalted chicken stock (Kitchen Basics)
• 1 tsp dried basil
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped + leaves for garnish

instructions:
1)  Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from browning. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2)  Add quinoa, toast for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley; give it a stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, put the lid on and simmer for 15 minutes.
3)  Fluff quinoa with a fork. Turn the heat off, put the lid back on and let stand for 10 minutes.
4)  Fluff again with a fork before serving. Garnish with parsley leaves.
