• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups water
• ¾ tsp dried marjoram or oregano
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• ¼ tsp dried rosemary — crumbled
• 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp grated lemon rind
• Pepper & salt to taste

Place the quinoa in a large bowl; fill with cold water.  Drain into a strainer and repeat the rinsing and draining 4 more times.  Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan.  Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until the quinoa makes cracking and popping noises, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Stir in the water, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary.
