{{RecipeIngredients
| 340 g [[Quinoa|quinoa]]
| 2 small [[Sweet peppers|sweet peppers]], one each of red and yellow
| 3 [[Celery|celery]] sticks
| 1-2 [[Green chillies|green chillies]], depending on size and strength
| 1 large [[Spanish]] [[Onion|onion]]
| 3 or more Cloves of [[Garlic|garlic]], according to size and taste
}}
: The above [[Vegetables|vegetables]] should be quite finely [[Diced|diced]] or chopped.
* 50 ml [[Corn|corn]] or [[Olive oil|olive oil]]

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Take a pan of cold water and add the [[Quinoa|quinoa]].

| Drain and squeeze as much water as you can out of the [[Quinoa|quinoa]].

}}
===Serving suggestions===
Will go with anything really, but I like to serve it as part of a collection of [[Salads|salads]], because the [[Quinoa|quinoa]] adds an extra texture.
===Variations===
You can add any [[Vegetables|vegetables]], but try to keep it colourful, Sometimes [[Raisins|raisins]] are included.
===Chef's notes===
The easiest way, I find, to squeeze the [[Quinoa|quinoa]] is to place it in either a [[jelly bag]] or [[butter muslin]] after draining. Leave it for a while hanging over a bowl or sink and periodically squeeze the bag or muslin until you feel that you cannot extract any more water.
