 *Pronounced Keen-wa, quinoa is a mild-flavored grain that was eaten
 by the Incas.  It is now grown in Colorado and New Mexico and is
 available in natural food stores...it is a very high as complete
 protein.

 Rinse quinoa in a strainer and remove any debris.  Place in a large
 non-stick saucepan and toast, until it darkens slightly.  Add broth.
 Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes until
 tender.  In another skillet, heat butter; add onion and garlic and
 cook tender, about 3 minutes.  Stir in quinoa, lemon zest, thyme
 parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
