1 TB sesame oil
1 small onion, diced
11/4 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed
1 small red bell pepper, diced
3 cups water
1 tsp tamari soy sauce
1 tsp fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp dried
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1/2 cup walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a saucepan and add onion and quinoa. Sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Add red bell pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Add water, soy sauce and rosemary. (If using fresh peas, add them now.) Bring contents to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Mean while, roast walnuts in 350°F oven for 5 minutes. When quinoa is cooked, turn off heat and mix in walnuts and frozen peas. Let sit an additional 10 minutes and serve.
