2 1/2 Tbsp minced shallots
2 Tbsp minced garlic
20 fl oz Chicken or Vegetable stock
12 oz quinoa, well-rinsed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1 bay leaf

In a medium saucepan, sweat the shallots and garlic in 2 fluid
ounces of the stock until the shallots are translucent.

Add the quinoa, remaining stock, salt, pepper, bay

Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme. Fluff the
quinoa with a fork to separate the grains and release
steam. Fold in the peppers and serve.
