Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 yellow onions (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups spinach (packed)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)

Instruction

  • Combine the quinoa and water in a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, place a lid on top, and cook the quinoa until it's soft.
  • Meanwhile, caramelize the onions. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Reduce heat to low and cook until soft, 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the onions seem to be browning, add 1 more tbsp olive oil.
  • Once the onions are soft and caramelized, add the spinach and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet, along with the cheese, and stir to combine. Enjoy!
