My friend and boss at the office Jaime Navarro is the ultimate foodie, what's she gonna make next? One time she made us steak and onions, one time she made us chicken stir fry, and then there was Xmas, when she made cookies, like 4 different kinds, Jaime is a food enthusiast supreme. So what was the dish she brought on Friday night February 18, 2011?
She made a stir fry with quinoa, it is a very delicate grain that cooks fast, vegans and vegetarians use this instead of rice on many occasions, and I used to cook this at a local health food store. It is so versatile it can be stuffed in a pita bread, or used in salads, and you can add any other ingredient you wish, just as Jaime did on this night.
She used green beans, carrots, no-nitrate Canadian bacon, toasted sesame, soy sauce.
Here are some pics of Jaime proudly holding her bowl of her creation, "Great Job Mrs. Navarro, you kick major f ass!"

How to cook quinoa
Using a 2 qt. pot, add in 1 cup of quinoa, and fill the pot with water, and soak it for 15 minutes, this will loosen up the outer skin which can cause for a bitter after taste.
Strain quinoa in a strainer, removing the skins. Return to pot, add in 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 tsp. of sea salt. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid, lower heat to simmering. Simmer quinoa for about 15 minutes. Off heat, remove lid, let cool, and use a fork to fluff it up.
