==================
2010-12-05

Ingredients
-----------
1 cup uncooked red or white quinoa
1 Tbs butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup coarsely chopped baking apple
1 1/2 cup roasted vegetable stock (from 32-oz container) or chicken broth
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbs finely chopped parsley

Directions
----------
Rinse quinoa thoroughly by placing in a fine-mesh strainer and holding under cold running water until water runs clear;
drain well.
In 2-qt saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  Cook onion, celery, apple and quinoa in butter 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
Stir in vegetable stock and orange juice.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover, simmer 15 to 20* minutes or until all
liquid is adsorbed and quinoa is tender.  Fluff with fork.
Stir in cranberries, nuts, cheese and salt.  Sprinkle with parsley.

Prep time: 20 min.  Start to Finish: 40 min.   8 servings

* I have found that it takes at least 5 minutes longer to absorb all the liquid--maybe because I put in a whole apple
and it was more than 1/2 C?  Anyway, you can either cook it longer or cut down on the amount of vegetable stock.

Review
------
Yum, though a little sweet.  Perhaps less orange juice?
