Herbed Up Quinoa

 

2 C. Water

1 Chicken or Vegetable Bouillon Cube, crumbled

1 C. Quinoa

1 tsp. Olive Oil, Ghee, or Coconut Oil

2 tsp. Total of dried herbs/spices (Refer to Cuisine Flavor Profiles for combos. Basil combo: ¼ tsp. each Basil, Thyme, Oregano and Garlic Powder)

¼ tsp. Cayenne (omit or increase to taste)

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

Combine water, bouillon and quinoa in a medium saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Liquid should be mostly absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in oil and hers. Cover and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve. As with most recipes, if you happen to have fresh herbs on hand from garden, forage or trade, use them! It takes about twice as much fresh as you would use of dried.
