 HAWAIIN QUINOA
   serves 2-4 people
 
 1     cup  quinoa
 1     cup  pineapple liquid (drained from canned pineapple, for example)
 1     cup  water
 1          medium yam (orange flesh, around 1/2 lb)
 1/2   cup  crushed pineapple, drained
 1-1/2 tsp  cinnamon
 3/4   tsp  nutmeg
 1/4   tsp  salt
 1/4   cup  currants
 
 - dice the yam (1/2 - 3/4 inch dice?) and steam for five minutes
   OR  microwave for five minutes then dice
 
 - add all ingredients except currants to a pot boil then simmer for
 around 15 minutes.  Stir occasionally
 
 - add currants and continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until
 all liquid is absorbed, the endosperm (?) has uncurled, and the quinoa
 is al dente.
 
 Serve warm.  Enjoy!
