finely chopped onion
finely chopped peeled carrot

• Rinse the quinoa well in a sieve. If the quinoa has a sticky coating then go here for more info as this coating needs to be removed prior to cooking. This coating has been removed in all the commercially available quinoa that I have used.
  
• Saute onion and carrot in butter and oil (1T each) until vegetables begin to brown.
  
• Add the rest of 2nd set saute 1 minute.
  
• Add quinoa and stir 1 minute.
  
• Add water and simmer covered until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
