Description

An easy side with lots of flavor and Moroccan style!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Vegetable Broth (or Water)
  • 2 cups Uncooked Quinoa
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Curry Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Turmeric Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 2 whole Small Carrots, Thinly Sliced And Cut Into 1-inch Strips (about 3/4 Cup)
  • 2 whole Scallions, White And Green Parts, Cut Into 1-inch Strips
  • ¼ cups Slivered Almonds, Toasted
  • ½ cups Golden Raisins

Preparation

Bring broth to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Pour quinoa into boiling broth and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, for 5 minutes more.

While quinoa is cooking, add olive oil, curry powder, turmeric and cinnamon to a large pan over medium heat. When spices become fragrant, add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions begin to soften. Remove from heat.

When quinoa is tender, pour onion and carrots over the quinoa. Add scallions, almonds and raisins and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

The whole family enjoyed this dish! The only change I made was using chicken broth in place of the vegetable broth. It was delicious!
