1 tablespoon butter or margarine
In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine or butter; add the quinoa, carrots, celery, pepper and garlic. Sauté until golden brown.
Add the water or broth and bring to a boil. Simmer 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the quinoa is cooked. Season to taste and sprinkle with chives and parsley, if desired.
