Place quinoa in a finemeshed sieve and rinse under warm running water for
1 min. Set aside.

Heat butter in a heavy, med. saucepan over med. heat. Add tomatoes,
shallots and garlic and saute for 35 mins, or till shallots are softened.
Add stock or water and bring to a boil. Stir quinoa and cayenne, return to
a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 30 mins, or
until liquid is absorbed. Let sit for 5 mins, and fluff grains with a fork
to separate. Stir in fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serves
4.

(this ancient Peruvian grain has a nutty, almost sweet flavour that really
needs no accent but is excellent with tomatoes and shallots).
