1 cup water |
1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced |
2/3 cup mandarin orange |
3 scallions, thinly sliced |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |

Directions:
1. Rinse quinoa in cold water several times; drain.
2. Combine the quinoa and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered until the grains are tender and water is absorbed; about 12 minutes. remove the pan from the heat.
