This side packs a lot of flavor. When I tested it out, I was delighted to discover a great-tasting side that is pretty and presentable for the Yom Tov table.

Prepare Quinoa
-
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft, about five minutes.
-
Add quinoa and cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa starts to toast and smell nutty, about five minutes. Add chicken soup or water and soup mix and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
-
Cover and simmer gently until quinoa is tender, about 20–25 minutes (15 minutes if using only white quinoa).
-
Remove pan from heat, add spices, and fluff quinoa with a fork. Cover; let stand for five minutes.
-
Fold parsley, mint if using, and pistachio nuts into quinoa, and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
