Curried Quinoa and Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage

Today's Dinner in Rice Cooker: Curried Quinoa and Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage

Put rice cooker on brown, or high - If you only have an ON/OFF cooker, you can skip the browning or brown in a skillet first

Brown:
...
1 large onion, chopped
4 chicken sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 tablespoons curry powder (we like it very hot and I make my own)

Stir to combine and let onion get soft.

Add

1 14 ounce can fat free chicken broth
1 14 ounce can water
Empty Can filled with Quinoa

What I did was empty the can of chicken broth into the rice cooker and used the can to measure the quinoa. Then I filled can with water, which washed out any remaining quinoa.

Set rice cooker for white rice and close it to cook. When it switches to keep warm add 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas and close to allow peas to thaw and warm.

Makes enough for 3 hungry people.
