Quinoa with Mushrooms

2 - large Onions, diced
1 - Green pepper, diced
1/4 cup - Oil
1 cup - Mushroooms, sliced
1-2 cup - (raw) Quinoa
1 tsp. - Salt
A little pepper
1 1/2 cup - Chicken soup

Cook Quinoa separately. Quinoa cooks like rice
1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water,
bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer,
cover and cook until all the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes)
when the quinoa is done all the grains have turned from white to transparent,
and the spiral-like germ has separated.


Saute onions and green pepper in oil until tender.
Add mushrooms and saute until onions are lightly brown.
Over low heat, stir in quinoa and cook till lightly brown, stirring often.
Add seasoning and chicken soup and cook covered over a low heat until liquid is absorbed.

chopped spinach is a good substitute for folks who don't like mushrooms. also, you can leave it out entirely.
