how to cook quinoa

 1 cup quinoa
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
1 carrot (optional)
1 stick of celery (optional)
2 cloves of garlic (optional)
1 Tablespoon bouillon/ stock cube

Chop garlic and veg and stir-fry in a saucepan with olive oil
Rinse quinoa in sieve
add to saucepan and mix with veg and oil
add 1 and half cup of water and stock
Bring to the boil, reduce heat ,cover and cook for approx 15 min

Quinoa can serve as a base for many dishes as a high protein alternative to rice - try with pesto, roasted pine nuts and rocket - very tasty ;)
