Quinoa with Fried Onions and Celery

Total time: 25 minutes
   This near-perfect food of the Incas has slowly been gaining recognition in the culinary world. It cooks quickly and has a nutty flavor that goes with everything. It is normally ready to cook, but if not it will need to be rinsed first.  If you can't find it, substitute Basmati or Jasmine Rice.

 Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (3.5oz, 100gr) quinoa
• 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) chicken stock
• 1/2 onion,  about 1/2 cup
• 1 small rib celery,  about 1/2 cup
• 2 tsp olive oil

 Instructions:

• Chop onion and celery. 
• Put quinoa and stock in a small saucepan, cover and bring to a boil.
•   Reduce heat and simmer until done, about 15 minutes  (or whatever your package says).
• Put quinoa in serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Heat oil in saucepan, add onion, celery, and sauté 7 - 9 minutes, until starting to brown.
• Stir in quinoa, heat through and serve.
