"A great side for chicken, or for a vegetarian meal. If you don't care if it is vegetarian, you can use chicken broth. You can also use slivered almonds instead of pine nuts."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve with cold water.

Step 2

Combine the quinoa with the broth in a saucepan. Bring to a slow boil, then cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until golden.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower and about 1/3 cup water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just tender, adding more water if needed.

Step 5

Once the quinoa is done, add it to the cauliflower mixture. Stir in the cranberries, parsley, oil and lemon juice. Toss together, then remove from the heat.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper. Scatter the nuts over the top and serve hot.
