Quinoa with Peas and Onion
Even picky eaters will love this fresh dish. If you don't have freshly shelled peas on hand, you can easily substitute frozen. —Lori Panarella, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

This was delicious! I only had 3/4 cup of peas, so I added frozen cauliflower. I also cooked the quina in vegetable broth. This is probably the best quinoa I’ve ever had. And so simple!
Made quinoa in rice cooker
Made this with red quinoa. Would make a lovely Christmas dish. Very tasty!
I've tried several quinoa recipes lately and had almost given up on the grain. While this one tasted a lot like peas, it's mildness and versatility did renew my hope for quinoa.
I didn't even add the nuts and it was very good. I will make again and try adding other things.
I also added some shredded carrots.
This was the first time I tried quinoa, so I didnt know what to expect. It turned out very good, but I did have to add some seasoning salt. I will definetly make it again:)
Have prepared this quinoa dish a few times and find it very tasty. Made half the recipe and reduced the salt to 1/8 tsp. Replaced the walnuts w/ toasted pine nuts. Yum, yum, it's even good cold.
Simple, healthy, easy! I'll make this often.
This is my first time having quinoa and it is fantastic! This is a perfect and easy recipe when you need to cook up a quick sidedish, it's light, healthy and has a wonderful nutty taste! I will definately be making this again:)
