   1 1/2   tb           Vegetable oil
   2       c            -Water
     3/4   ts           Dried marjoram or oregano

  saucepan.  Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring,

  about 3 to 5 minutes.  Stir in the water, marjoram,
  thyme, and rosemary.  Bring to a boil, reduce the
  heat, and simmer, covered, 15 minutes.

  with a fork.
