Quinoa with Bell Peppers and Onions

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped orange bell pepper
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place quinoa in a fine mesh sieve; rinse thoroughly under cold water (until all the soapy-looking bubbles disappear); drain. Transfer quinoa to a medium saucepan; add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook until most of the broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove quinoa from heat; stir and let sit an additional 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork and set aside. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, onion, bell peppers, salt and black pepper. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Add quinoa to onion mixture; stir to combine. Serve warm. Makes 4-6 servings.
