it can also be prepared as a meal. It cooks like rice but quicker 12 minutes or so (be careful not to burn it)

1. Cook Quinoa and set aside or soak and sprout if doing RAW
2. Dice : eggplant, squash, tomatoes, carrots, corn some spinach, green beens or kale
3. Next sauté an onion of your choice with high heat oil add some mineral salt (digest better), pepper and let that sauté for a minute.
 4. Than you can add veggies like eggplant, squash, tomatoes, carrots, corn some spinach ECT... make sure not to over cook it will destroy the vitamins. Just cook for about two minutes the more raw you can the better. Mix it all up or serve it on the side of the Quinoa. 
Squeeze some lemon on top with a sprinkle of Cayenne pepper and its good to go.
