Notes

This quinoa recipe is good on its own but to make it a complete meal try  serving with chili stir fried tofu, avocado, and green onion.
I cooked this recipe on high for 4-5 hours and stirred halfway through. If you need a longer cooking time, cook on low for 6-7 hours, however I personally have not tried this yet.
