Ingredients

4 servings

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
¼ cup dry white wine
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp black pepper
8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

For finishing

1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

1–2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (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
Melt 2 tbsp butter with the garlic-infused oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter is foamy and just beginning to subside, about 1 minute.
