Curried Quinoa from Minxy

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
.5 onion, diced
1 tsp. Grated Ginger (or substitute .5 tsp powder)
1 tsp hot curry powder (original recipe called for .5 fresh green chile pepper)
1 heaping tsp turmeric
1 heaping tsp coriander
.25 tsp cinnamon
1.75 cup water
1 cup frozen or fresh, chopped vegetables (I like peas, cauliflower, broccoli, and zucchini as options)
Salt to taste

Rinse quinoa until water isn't soapy (I got pre-rinsed), you might want to use a coffee filter to rinse it in

Sauté onions and fresh vegetables in oil on med-high heat for five minutes

Add quinoa and cook for one minute, stirring constantly

Stir in spices and continue to cook one minute, stirring constantly

Add water, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes

Stir in peas or other frozen vegetables, cover and simmer for 5 additional minutes or until vegetables and quinoa are tender and all water has been absorbed

Fluff with a fork before serving
