ingredients.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil. Add onions, celery, garlic and mushrooms.
Sauté three or four minutes until slightly browned.
Add quinoa and stir for a minute or two to coat with oil and finish drying
the quinoa. Add water or broth, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
