Prep time: 10 mins max
Yield: 4 cups

For a nice variation on rice, try cooking up quinoa (pronouced Keen wah) instead. It goes really well with celery and carrot, so it's a great way to get some vegetables into the kids!

Ingredients

2 cups quinoa
4 cups of vegetable broth
2 stalks of finely chopped celery
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 can of canneloni beans, optional

Kitchen Items

1 pot with a lid

Instructions

Bring the broth, quinoa, and vegetables to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 25 minutes, then remove from the heat for another ten.

Give it a good stir and add in beans at this point if you like. That's it!

It freezes well.

When it's finished, stir in a little oil to prevent it from sticking.
