Quinoa With Fried Onions And Chestnuts

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 large onions, quartered
• 2 cups quinoa, thoroughly rinsed in a large fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear
• 4 cups cold water
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 (3 ounce) bags vacuum-packed roasted peeled chestnuts, broken in smaller pieces

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet.
2. In a food processor, coarsely grind the onions, and add to the pot.
3. Cook on a medium flame, stirring occasionally, until dark.
4. Transfer the onions to a bowl.
5. Add the quinoa, water, salt, pepper and turmeric, and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce to medium and cook, covered, about 15 minutes: the grain will start opening and showing tiny white points.
7. Stir in the reserved onions and the chestnuts.
8. Serve hot.
