Rinse quinoa with cold water and drain well.

about 5 minutes. Add potato, raisins, and quinoa and cook for
1 minute. 

Stir in broth and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low,
cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender, 15 to
20 minutes. Fluff quinoa mixture with a fork and serve at once.
