Method (preview)

1. 1

   Note 1: Original recipe used 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2. 2

   Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet (we added a little water to compensate for the lessened oil).

3. 3

   Add the onions and cook over low heat, stirring often, until meltingly soft and deep golden, about 30 min, add a little bit of water as the onions begin to look dry.

4. 4

   Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate.

5. 5

   Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan.

6. 6

   Add the quinoa and cook over high heat, stirring, until light golden and fragrant, 3 - 4 min. Add the water and 3/4 tsp salt and bring to a boil.

7. 7

   Cover and cook over low heat until all of the water has been absorbed and the grains are tender, 12 - 15 min. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the onions.

8. 8

   Season with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Transfer the quinoa to a bowl and serve at once.
