1 c  Quinoa
1 1/2 tb Vegetable oil
2 c  -Water
3/4 ts Dried marjoram or oregano
1/2 ts Dried thyme

Place the quinoa in a large bowl; fill with cold water. Drain into a

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. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, 15
minutes.

Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, salt, lemon rind, and pepper. Simmer,
covered, 5 minutes longer. Fluff with a fork.
