2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup quinoa
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

I didn't have any pomegranate molasses, so I substituted balsamic vinegar. It turned out great!

The pilaf was a bit dry, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

This pilaf was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of pomegranate molasses next time.
