Steps:
- Rinse quinoa well before cooking. Prepare quinoa according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, combine onion and oil in a medium nonstick skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat until onion is browned, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. (If onion starts to burn, reduce heat.)
- Set aside.
- Rinse quinoa with cold water until cool; drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine quinoa, onion, and remaining ingredients (except tomato).
- Mix well.
- Stir in tomato.
- Serve at room temperature.
- HELPFUL HINT: Quinoa must be rinsed well before cooking to remove a natural bitter tasting but harmless coating. (The coating naturally protects quinoa from birds and insects.).
- All ingredients except tomato can be prepared, combined, and chilled up to one day ahead. Add a small amount of broth if mixture seems dry, then stir in tomato.

PORK FRIED QUINOA
These tiny quinoa seeds really are sponges for flavor. I was really surprised how decadent and satisfying this seemed, and with only a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a handful of very lean smoked ham.

QUINOA WITH FRIED ONIONS AND CHESTNUTS
We got this from levanacooks.com,she says: "I love quinoa, on Passover and year-round. A staple in South America, it's a nutritional powerhouse, and delicious too, and so versatile! Quinoa comes in white, red and black, as I did here, so mix and match and get fun results each time. Please do not skip the step where you are told to rinse the quinoa in cold water: It rids it of the saponin that has been sprayed on it to keep the insects away away: What do you know, they love quinoa, as do we! I find that quinoa works best when the cooking water we start with is cold" - See more at: http://www.levanacooks.com/quinoa-with-fried-onions-and-chestnuts-recipe/#sthash.pSZoiFFU.ZsdqaMoU.dpuf

SPANISH-STYLE QUINOA
This quinoa dish is a delicious and higher protein alternative to Spanish rice. This is a nice side dish to a Mexican meal, or it can be used as a filling in burritos. I like my food on the less-salty side, so you may have to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
