Ingredients 

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen pearled onions (chopped onions will work too!)
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 4 oz cans sliced mushrooms, drained

  • Couple dashes parsley
  • Baked Chicken, or other protein

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, add a touch of olive oil, then add the pearled onions (no need to thaw), crushed garlic and sliced mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
  • Then add the broth, water and quinoa. Season with some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat and let simmer over medium low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Chop the celery and then add to the pilaf just as it is finished cooking. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with a little parsley before serving.
  • We had this with baked chicken and peas!
