Ede wanted a quinoa recipe. This is a recipe that I got in a cooking class
I took at the Disney Institute in Orlando. It was a healthy cooking class
where we learned and cooked a few things. This was delicious and very easy
to make! "Quinoa (pronounced keenwa) is a complete protein. It provides an
essential amino acid balance close to the ideal needed in our diets. Quinoa
contains more high quality protein than any other grain."

Place quinoa in a strainer and run water over the grain to remove the
excess starch. Place in 1 quart sauce pan with the water, and place over
medium high heat until a simmer is reached. Reduce heat and maintain the
simmer.

When liquid is almost completely absorbed, add the garlic and peppers.
Finish cooking until dry. Finish with the chopped herbs and pinch of salt.
