Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian herbs such as parsley, basil, oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Bring chicken broth, quinoa, herbs, and salt and pepper to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add celery, green onions and pine nuts. Sauté until celery is tender and pine nuts are golden brown, about 8 minutes.
