Rice & Quinoa Pilaf
25 grams butter
1 onion
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup long grain rice (I used brown basmati)
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup chopped vegetables
A small handfull of fresh chives, chopped finely
25 grams butter
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the onion, rice and quinoa. Cook, stirring all the time, for two minutes. If you are using meat, add that at this point too.
Pour in the stock and add the vegetables. At this point it will look like soup. At this point you could transfer it to a casserole dish and let it bake for about 30 or 40 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
Alternatively, continue to cook pilaf on the stove. Turn the heat down to medium-low and place the lid on the saucepan. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes (you can stir it every now and then if you want, but you don't have to). After about a half hour almost all of the water will have been absorbed. So now you should give it a taste and season it with salt and pepper if need be. Then stir in the chives and the second measure of butter. Place the lid back on the saucepan, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
