Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Rinse quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer.
Cook quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 15-20 minutes.
Prepare parsley
While the quinoa cooks, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Fluff quinoa
When the quinoa is done, remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Add butter and seasonings
Add the butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the quinoa. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Serve
Transfer the buttered quinoa to a serving bowl and serve hot as a side dish.
