A quick switch from water to stock elevates this simple whole-grain side. Substitute chopped toasted almonds for a budget-friendly alternative to the pine nuts. If you're not a cilantro fan, use chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley instead.

Made tonight along with the Sauteed Salmon with Citrus Salsa as recommended. Fantastic meal. Hubby initially smirked when I told him it was quinoa (not typically a favorite of his) but even he had to admit it was great. Will make this again. Often. *note serving size - double if making for the family.
