SERVES 4
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 3/4 cup Water
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tbsp Ghee
- 1 Onion, chopped

- In a fine strainer, rinse quinoa under running water.
- Put the quinoa in a pan and add water, bay leaves, and turmeric. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the grains are tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 17 minutes.

- As soon as the quinoa is done, stir in the vegetable mixture just until thoroughly combined. Add salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with parsley if desire. Serve hot.
