Put onion, celery, cherries, walnuts, thyme, marjoram, pepper and margarine in a large nonstick skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender; stir occasionally. Add quinoa; mix well. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

"This flavorful combination proves that nutritious eating doesn't need to be bland and boring."

I forgot to add the pepper this time. Made it boring. I prepared the quinoa with vegetarian chicken-broth equivalent. Wonder if the water version would be better with the subtler vegetable purpose of this recipe?
