Quinoa...where have you been all my life??

I have heard several good things about this little South American grain, but have never tasted it. Until now that is...and all I can say is "Quinoa, where have you been all of my life?". It was really delicious and is healthy as well. This one will be added to our regular rotation for sure!

Ingredients/Directions:

To cook the quinoa, place 2 Cups water or broth (I used broth for added flavor) in a medium saucepan along with 1 Cup of quinoa (I used Trader Joe's organic). Bring to a boil. When boiling, turn heat to low and cover for approximately 10 minutes or until liquid is gone.

I wanted to make a meal out of it, so meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 T Olive Oil. When pan is hot, add the following (or whatever veggies you like): 1 small chopped onion, 1 diced carrot, green peas, corn, lima beans and green beans-season with salt & pepper and saute. When cooked through, add 2 Cans Garbanzo Beans and warm through. Once warmed, add quinoa to pan and stir all ingredients together. Enjoy!
