    Wash and place the quinoa in a wire mesh strainer to drain.

    Tips:

    I came up with this recipe for my husband who is on an invalid diet,
    so this recipe doesn't have onions and garlic, or nightshades like
    tomato & potato.

    There are so many other seasonings, you won't miss them in this
    recipe. But add them if you like, and stir fry with the carrots and
    celery.
