Quinoa with Pesto and Tomatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Initiate the cooking process by placing quinoa and chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat, bringing it to a rolling boil. Next, cover the saucepan and decrease the heat to a low simmer, allowing the liquid to be fully absorbed by the quinoa, which typically takes around 15 minutes.
2
Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the saucepan from the heat source and incorporate pesto into the quinoa mixture. Subsequently, fold in diced tomatoes to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Finally, season the dish with salt and pepper to enhance its overall taste.
