Quinoa for people who don't like quinoa

Maybe your spouse will consume everything you put in front of him/her, as does mine. But that doesn't mean he likes everything I serve him! Quinoa is on his list of edible-but-not-enjoyable foods. I had a little bit of leftover quinoa in a package and was trying to figure out what to do with it, and came up with the following recipe. He had seconds!

Quinoa and Kielbasa

1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, c hopped
14 oz Polska Kielbasa, cut into 1/2" thick slices
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup rice
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups water


In a large frying pan, saute onion and green pepper until tender. Add kielbasa slices and cook, not stirring too often, so that slices brown a bit on both sides. Rinse quinoa and rice well, then add both to the pan. Add salt, bouillon cubes, pepper, and cayenne. Stir around a bit. Add water and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover pan, and let cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
