Quinoa Pilaf with Spinach and Nori
This quinoa pilaf with spinach and nori is one of my go-to vegan side dishes.
You can make this quinoa pilaf with millet or brown rice with the same broth ratios.
You could also make this quinoa pilaf in a rice cooker to make it even easier. But, I like to caramelize the onions and infuse them with the spices before I add the broth and grains for an added element of flavor.
I often eat this quinoa pilaf for an afternoon snack, but it’s great served with stir-fried vegetables or salad for a filling meal.
If you don’t have nori or don’t want to purchase it, leave it out. This quinoa pilaf tastes great without it.
But, I seize every opportunity to include sea vegetables into my diet, and this is a tasty way to do that.

Just made this recipe for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! I added the mushrooms and fennel seeds that Anna recommended and it was perfect. Very flavorful and filling. I will definitely make this dish again. Plan on making the dish for a family get-together in two weeks. Will be perfect. Thanks! This piggy is happy!

Looks and sounds fantastic! I have to pick up some nori this week to give it a try!
Hey Kim!
I can’t wait to hear what you think 🙂
Ooooh! Where do I begin with how much I love this recipe?! Just made probably my 500th batch of it today 🙂 And loving my nori, I admit to using a sheet per bowl/serving. Plus, with all the green in this recipe, I always feel good knowing I’m getting a lot of chlorophyll and all the good detoxing benefits from the pasley and cilantro and something that just plain tastes deLISH! BIG oink on this one!
SOOO glad you are enjoying this recipe so much! I LOVE this one too 🙂
