Instructions to make Caper-Walnut Quinoa with Sautéed Swiss Chard, Chickpeas and Scallions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degress F. Heat a small-medium saucepot over low heat. Add quinoa and toast for 4-5 minutes while stirring. Add 1 1/4 cups of water to pot.

  3. Once the quinoa has cooled for 6-8 minutes, stir in the butter, capers, walnuts, salt and pepper.
  4. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the olive oil, then add the white part of the scallions. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add chard greens and stems and chickpeas, and cook for another 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
