Basic Quinoa
Quinoa is great on its own, but is even better with a little flavor.  The sweet flavor of onions livens up the quinoa and makes this a great dish to have around.  It goes with everything from vegetable stir-fry to a side dish with meat or fish.  Enjoy!

~ Dash of olive oil
~ 1 onion, copped
~ 1 cup Quinoa
~ 2 cups water or chicken stock
~ salt to taste

Add oil to a pot and let warm (however, never let oils smoke, this is very bad!). 

Add onions and sautee for 5-8 minutes or until the onions are clear. 

Add the water or stock and let come to a boil.

Add the quinoa, reduce heat, cover and let cook for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed.

Season with salt and enjoy!
