Quinoa!!!

QUINOA!
What an odd sounding grain... keenwah!  But it's definitely yummy.

People have different ways of preparing quinoa, this is mine... hope you enjoy!!









1/2 red or vidalia onion, diced
4-5 cloves of garlic, diced
1/2 inch of ginger, diced
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1 jalapeno pepper, diced (optional)
2 cups of chicken stock or 1 bullion cube
1 cup of quinoa
olive oil or coconut oil

Boil two cups of water or heat up 2 cups of chicken stock.  If you're using water, once the water has boiled, dissolve a bullion cube in the 2 cups of water.  While the water is boiling, sautee onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and jalapeno pepper.  After a few minutes, add the liquid.  Taste the liquid - add salt if necessary.  Once the liquid starts boiling, add the quinoa and cover.  Cook for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat, fluff with a fork.
