Ingredients:

3     cups          vegetable stock
                    = (or water with 1 vegetable
                    bouillon cube)
1 1/2 cups          raw quinoa
3                   scallions
                    parts - (to 4), thinly sliced
2     teaspoons     salt-free all-purpose seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups          frozen green peas
2     tablespoons   nonhydrogenated margarine
                    Salt
1/3   cup           slivered or sliced almonds

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Bring the water or stock to a simmer in a large, heavy saucepan. Rinse the quinoa well in a fine sieve. Stir the quinoa into the boiling water along with the scallions and seasoning blend. Cover and cook at a gentle but steady simmer until all the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the peas and margarine, then season to taste with salt.
Transfer the pilaf to a serving bowl and scatter the almonds over the top. If time allows, you might like to lightly toast the almonds, either in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a 250 degree toaster oven. Watch carefully, they toast quickly!
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
