Ingredients

1 cup of quinoa, rinsed and picked over

2 cups fat-free chicken or veggie broth (low salt is best)

1 Tbsp olive oil (or just enough spray olive oil to coat the pan)

1/2 cup of diced onion

1/2 cup finely diced celery

1 cup total of diced red, yellow, orange, or green pepper (your choice)

1 cup fresh or frozen peas

1/2 tsp dried sage

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine quinoa and broth together in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15(ish) minutes until the liquid is absorbed, stirring every 5 minutes or so.

While the quinoa is cooking, heat a large flying pan over medium high heat and coat the pan with olive oil. Saute the onions, celery, peppers, and salt and pepper together until everything is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Add the peas and continue cooking another minute longer. Add quinoa to frying pan and mix everything together thoroughly and serve.
