How to cook deliciously - Bacon Quinoa with Almonds and Herbs

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds in a pie plate and toast in the oven until golden brown, 4 minutes; let cool.

2. Stage

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Add the bacon and cook over moderately high heat until the fat has rendered, about 2 minutes. Add the shallot and cook, stirring a few times, until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the quinoa, stock, and sage and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until the stock has been absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove the quinoa from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the sage and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Stir in the chives, parsley, and toasted almonds. Season the quinoa with salt and pepper and serve.
