Quinoalaya: with pic

Have a guest who's a vegetarian over for dinner so I decided to stop pointing/laughing and cook something she'd eat.

1 large carton whole mushrooms
1 large onion
1 bunch celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bunch parsley
2-1/2 cups quinoa
pinch dried thyme & basil
salt/pepper to taste

Saute' the onion and celery til almost clear and drop in the mushrooms(washed and quartered). Add soy sauce, dried seasoning, and parsley. Continue to saute until the onions are clear. Add quinoa, garlic, and 5 cups water or veggie stock, bring to simmer and cover. Simmer til liquid is absorbed.

Not being a rabbit myself, I prefer to use meat, but this was actually tasty enough for me not to mind.
