Curried Quinoa
1¼ C quinoa, rinsed well (soak for a few minutes, then drain in a fine strainer)
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 Tbsp. ginger root, grated
1¼ tsp. coriander
1¼ tsp. turmeric
¼ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. sea salt
1 can diced green chili peppers
2 C water
Rinse and drain quinoa well (after soaking for a few minutes first, so grains absorb water and don’t run through the sieve). Sauté the onions and peppers in oil in a saucepan. Add the ginger, quinoa, and green chilies, and cook for 1 min. Add the remaining spices and cook for another minute. Add the water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 min. Fluff with a fork before serving.
