Yellow Quinoa

• 1 3/4 cups quinoa
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons canned chopped green chiles (leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month, can be used for additions to scrambled eggs, homemade pizza, etc.)
• 1 tablespoons adobo seasoning
• 3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
• Salt

1. Rinse the quinoa very well and drain it in a colander.
2. This will remove the bitter powder-like coating, called saponin, a natural coating designed to repel bugs that can create a bitter taste.
3. Put the quinoa it in a medium saucepan, add the water and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the quinoa is puffed and the water is absorbed.
4. Fluff with a fork.
5. In a separate large frying pan, heat the oil and the butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted.
6. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic, and green pepper and cook.
7. Stir until the onion is transparent; approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
8. Add the green chiles, the adobo, the parsley and the salt to taste.
9. Add the cooked quinoa and mix thoroughly.
10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
