Servings: persons

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 ounces sausage (ready to eat type like chorizo or salami)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon herbes de provence
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen will work)
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1
Saute the onion, garlic and sausage in the olive oil over medium-high heat, until onions are limp and the sausage has rendered its fat and is turning a bit crispy. Add the well drained quinoa and saute briefly until it is lightly browned. Add the mustard seeds and saute for a minute or two, to bring out the flavor.
2
Add the broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add the salt, pepper, herbs de provence, and put on a lid. Let it cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed and the quinoa is no longer hard. Add the fresh herbs and green peas. Taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. I occasionally find that the quinoa is tender before all the liquid is absorbed. I just drain off the excess.
3
Serve warm or cold. This will keep in the refrigerator, well covered, for 2 to 3 days.
