Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
1 cup low sodium chicken stock
½ cup water
¼ tsp + ⅛ tsp teaspoon salt
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 ½ ounces crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
Rinse quinoa in a little bit of cold water. Drain. Bring quinoa, chicken stock, water, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and then reduce to low and cook for 15 minutes. Add cranberries, cook another 5 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and add pecans, parsley and crumbled goat cheese. Toss with a fork again and serve immediately.
If you would like to make this dish ahead of time, prepare through adding the cranberries. When ready to serve warm over a low heat, and then add pecans, parsley and goat cheese.
