--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2   c            Quinoa
  2       tb           Oil
    1/2   c            Chopped onion
  1 1/4   c            Vegetable (or chicken) broth
    3/4   c            Chickpeas, cooked or canned

 to the bowl and rinse 4 times more. Drain well.

 Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high
 heat.  Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until
 it cracks and pops, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the
 onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.

 Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high
 heat.  Add the chickpeas, sunchokes, peas, and pepper,
 and return to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer,
 covered, 20 minutes.  Fluff with a fork.
