vegetarian, simple, delicious

Wash the quinoa under hot water until the water runs clear. Add all the spices and vegetables to 2 liters of cold water and bring to a boil. Sprinkle in the quinoa and simmer for about 10 minutes. Let it swell for another 10 minutes; all the water should be absorbed by now; you may need to add a little more boiling water. You can then remove the overcooked vegetables or leave them in. I leave them in. Quinoa is delicious in cold salads, as a soup garnish, or as a substitute for rice. It tastes particularly good with tomatoes. I use it with tomato sauce, in tomato salad, or as a quinoa salad with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and figs.
