• Bake for 30 minutes, flipping each piece after 15 minutes.

Quinoa Stir-Fry

• Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes stirring constantly.
• Add onions and continue cooking until carrots are tender around the edges (stir often).
• Next add Broccoli and water.

Notes

Please bear in mind, quinoa is much like rice and is cooked according to the absorption method. The yield of cooked quinoa depends largely on the time it spends simmering in the water: the more water it absorbs, the more the grain puffs/swells.

From the 1 cup of uncooked quinoa this recipe calls for, you could quite possibly end up with a little more than 2 cups of cooked quinoa.

In any case, this recipe only calls for 2 cups of cooked quinoa. If you have more than this left over... gather up the fragments (John 6:12; CD 258.1), and be creative (CD 109.5)! Then come back and share with us what you were able to come up with.
