 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2   c            Quinoa
    2       tb           Oil
      1/2   c            Chopped onion
    1 1/4   c            Vegetable (or chicken) broth
      3/4   c            Chickpeas, cooked or canned
                         - (drained and rinsed)
    1       c            Peeled, chopped sunchokes
      1/2   c            Peas, fresh or frozen
      1/4   ts           Pepper
 
   Place the quinoa in a large bowl; fill with cold
   water.  Pour into a strainer, then return the quinoa
   to the bowl and rinse 4 times more. Drain well.
   
   Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high
   heat.  Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring, until
   it cracks and pops, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the
   onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.
   
   Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high
   heat.  Add the chickpeas, sunchokes, peas, and pepper,
   and return to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer,
   covered, 20 minutes.  Fluff with a fork.
   
   Serves 6 to 8
