Quinoa pilaf with pine nuts

1) Put the stock and the quinoa in a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the grain is tender.

2) Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a large dry frying pan over a medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Remove the nuts from the pan and set aside.

3) Heat the oil in the same pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to brown, about 6 minutes.

4) When the quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large serving bowl. Stir in the pine nuts, onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
