Instructions
- Cut 4 tomatillos in half and puree in blender or food processor with ¾ cup broth, ½ cup cilantro, onion, jalapeno, and garlic until mostly smooth. Add enough of the remaining broth to equal 2 cups total.
- Combine the tomatillo mixture, quinoa, sugar and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
