Quinoa and Carrot Pilaf

An nice alternative to rice :)

For 2-3 servings you need:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
2 large carrots, diced small
1 large onion, diced small
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp stock powder

Sautee the onion in the oil and after about 5 mins add the carrot. After another 5 mins add the qunoa, fry for a bit and then add the water. Add the stock and cover with a lid. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins. Turn off the heat and let the quinoa steam for a further 10 mins. Don't worry if there is some excess liquid in the bottom of the pan. It's also nice cold as a salad.
