Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup quinoa

1/2 small white onion -- finely chopped

1 celery rib -- cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 carrot -- cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 small fennel bulb (sometimes called anise) -- trimmed, cored,

and cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups water

 

Rinse quinoa in a bowl in at least 5 changes of water, rubbing grains and

letting them settle before pouring off water, until water

runs clear. Drain in a fine sieve.

 

Cook onion, celery, carrot, and fennel in butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan

over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion

is softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add quinoa and sauté over moderately high heat,

stirring, until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add

water and salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderately low heat, covered,

until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12 to

15 minutes.
