Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon marjoram or oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
1/4 teaspoon rosemary leaves crumbled
3 tablespoons parsley leaves chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest grated
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Place the quinoa in a large bowl.

Fill with cold water.

Drain into a strainer and repeat the rinsing and draining four more times.

Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan.

Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until the quinoa makes cracking and popping noises, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the water, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, 15 minutes.

Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, salt, lemon rind, and pepper.

Simmer, covered, 5 minutes longer.

Fluff with a fork.
