Here's a Thanksgiving gift to you. My very own top-secret Thanksgiving casserole recipe: Get a large pot and put some butter in the bottom...2-4 spoons at least. Put the stove burner on medium and let the butter melt. Pour 2 cups of dry red quinoa (remember to pre-rinse the quinoa) in the butter. Use a spoon and mix the quinoa around in the butter to get it well coated. Let it simmer in the butter for about 5 minutes...it will turn from red to a brownish color. Pour in two cans of vegetable broth, and turn the burner to high. Let the quinoa mix boil for a few minutes, then reduce to simmer for about 25 minutes or so. In another pan, sautee a chopped up red onion and some finely chopped garlic in olive oil for about 10-15 minutes on medium heat. In a large bowl, put a few spoons of sea salt, a few spoons of oregano, a few spoons of thyme, a few spoons of parsley, a few spoons of cilantro, and a spoon or two of olive oil. Add the quinoa and the sauteed onions and garlic to the bowl. Crush up half a box of Triscuit crackers, add these to the bowl, pour some lemon juice on top, mix very well. Enjoy.
