Another Quinoa Recipe

We are supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow Sunday so I bought the ingredients to make this since I will be stuck indoors.  I have not tried it yet, but thought I would share with other Quinoa lovers.

Quinoa and Broccoli Pilaf
1 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 chopped onion
salt and black pepper
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
2 cups chopped broccoli
1/4 cup raisins (or Craisins)
1/2 cup roasted almonds, coarsely chopped


Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and season with ½ tsp salt amd ¼ pepper. Stir until onions are softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rinsed quinoa and 1½ cups water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and turn heat down to simmer gently until almost all the water has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir broccoli and raisins into the quinoa. Cover and coo****il the quinoa and broccoli are tender, 8 to 10 min. Remove from heat and stir in the almonds,and another ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper.

I ve been so hungry for Creamed rice, do you happen to have a recipe for that using the Quinoa?
