Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
-
Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
-
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
-
While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until softened.
-
Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.
-
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the spiced onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
-
Toast the sliced almonds in a separate dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Serve the spiced quinoa in bowls, topped with the toasted almonds, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
