4 servings
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Yellow mustard is milder and more vinegary - taste, then add a little more if needed. - 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds, then shake off the excess water.
- 2
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rinsed quinoa and stir to coat, cooking for 2–3 minutes until the grains smell nutty and begin to look dry and lightly golden.
