easy quinoa and veggies

Several months ago, for some reason, my mother sent me something like ten pounds of uncooked quinoa in the mail. (Why she spent $8 to ship it instead of sending me a check with a note that said "use this to buy quinoa," I'll never know.) So, it's time to eat a LOT of quinoa, and what better way to start than knowing simply how to cook it and a basic formula for adding good things to it.


You will need:
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cup water
1 head broccoli, chopped
assorted peppers, diced
1 yellow or zucchini squash, cubed
bragg's liquid aminos

Do this: Cook the quinoa. I let it soak in the 1.5 cups of water for a few minutes, put it in a pot with a lid, bring to a boil, and then simmer 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the veggies in a frying pan. When the quinoa is ready, toss it all together with a few sprays of Bragg's and any other desired spices. THAT EASY.
