Quick Quinoa Meal

http://impossiblewriter.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/coconut-oil-and-quinoa/

1/4 cup Quinoa (dry)
1/2 cup Water
1 tbsp Coconut Oil
1/3 cup Onion (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove (diced)
1 Baby Bell Mushroom–Portobello (diced)
A few Broccoli Heads, stems chopped off
1 Egg
Salt
Pepper
Okay, so here goes nothing. We take out the sauce pan and place the 1/2 c. Water in there. Measure out the Quinoa, and throw that in there too. Cover it up, put the burner on “High” and wait for it to boil.
When the Quinoa starts boiling, turn its burner to “Medium-Low” or “Low” and keep it that way for about ten minutes. You want the Quinoa to soak up all the water in the pan while it cooks. Depending on your stove strength, you will have to check it and alter this method. Once it soaks up all the water, puffy looking and sizzling a tad, take it off the heat. Make sure it doesn’t burn to the bottom of the pan. We don’t want any sad little Quinoa bits ruined.
As the waiting (for the Quinoa to boil, etcetera) takes place, go ahead and take a small skillet, turn that burner to “Medium” and plop a dollop (1 tbsp) Coconut Oil in that skillet.
Take out your cutting board and dice those onions and that clove of garlic. Tailor the desired amounts to your taste, and place the onions and garlic into the now hot Coconut Oil. Hearing a sizzle of satisfaction from the oil as these ingredients drop in (making sure to coat the onions and garlic with the oil as you stir), smile, and proceed to chopping the broccoli. Throw the broccoli in, mix it around. It’s a party! Okay, no we cut up the mushrooms and toss those in too. Add salt and pepper as the ingredients dance around for a while.
Now, this is the acrobatic part of the whole feat. Take an egg, crack it and toss it into the skillet, immediately scrambling it into the mess of other ingredients. This will look something like an omelet now. When everything’s looking pretty happy and good, then dish out the Quinoa (be sure to keep an eye on this one while you cook the other ingredients) and the skillet omelet. Fork the two together like they were made for each other. And, vjola! You have yourself a tasty, healthy, Quinoa meal in 10 minutes!
