Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large onions (quartered)
- 2 cup quinoa (white, red or black, or a combination, thoroughly rinse in a large fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear)
- 4 cup cold water
- salt and pepper to taste

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