2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cups water

1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes.
