Quinoa with Peas and Onion

"Even picky eaters will love this protein-packed dish. If you have freshly shelled peas on hand, substitute them for the frozen". Mrs. Panarella

Ingredients

• 2 cups water

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1-1/2 cups frozen peas

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until water is absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork.

2. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, saute onion in oil until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add peas; cook and stir until heated through. Stir in the cooked quinoa, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with walnuts.
