Curried Quinoa Recipe

Hey All!

Here is that curried quinoa recipe some of you asked for. A big thanks to Cherene for passing it on :)

Ingredients:

1 Cup Quinoa
1 1/2 Tbsp Veg Oil
1/2 Onion Diced
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
1/2 fresh green chile (finely chopped)
1 heaping tsp turmeric
1 heaping tsp coriander
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups water
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
salt to taste

Directions:
1. Place oil and diced onions in a heavy saucepan. Saute the onions on medium high heat for for or five minutes.
2. Add the ginger root, chile and quinoa. Cook for one minute stirring constantly. A fine, white spiral appears around the grain as it cooks.
3. Stir in the turmeric, coriander, cinnamon and salt. Cook for one minute stirring constantly.
4. Add the water and bring it to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Stir in peas. Cover and cook for four or five minutes or until peas are tender and all othe water has been absorbed.
6. Fluff with a fork

Serving suggestion: This dish is great with pork tenderloin and peach salsa. It's also great with fish.

Enjoy!
