1 cup white quinoa

1
Heat some oil in a frying pan (roughly a tablespoon should do it).
2
Saute onion, red pepper and celery until softened.
3
Add garlic, lemon zest, basil, red chili flake and give it a quick stir.
4
Add lemon juice, veggie stock and canned tomatoes.
5
Once simmering, add quinoa, stir, bring to a simmer and cover with a lid.
6
Let simmer until quinoa is cooked, somewhere around 20 minutes. You want the final product to be a bit saucy so if it seems a bit thick, add a touch of broth to loosen it up.
