Anyone have a good quinoa recipe?

I bought some at the store today. I've never had it before but would love to try it. My husband and 10yr old son are VERY picky, so I hope that they will like it as well. I am hoping to incorporate it into my regular side dish rotation because it is so good for you.

Pinch of Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
1 tsp sea salt
fresh ground pepper

Prep:
1. place quinoa in fine mesh sieve. Rinse well under lukewarm running water for 1 minute. Set aside

2. Heat oil in large saucepan. Add tomatoes, shallots, and garlic - saute for 3-5 min or until shallots are softened. Add stock or water and bring to boil. Stir in quinoa and cayenne pepper. Return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 min or until liquid is absorbed. Let stand 5 min. Fluff with fork and stir in seasonings.

I use quinoa as a substitute for rice in most dishes. This is a very tasty recipe:
