Toasted Almond Quinoa

TOTAL TIME:30 min

The toasted almonds and fragrant spices in this recipe perk up traditional quinoa and are complemented by sweet raisins. I love using protein-rich quinoa as a side dish instead of rice. It’s not only a better source of protein, it’s also a great source of folate, fiber, and iron. I like to serve this with mango chicken kabobs or any other main dish that needs a flavorful side dish!

          Directions
          1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the curry and turmeric. Toast the spices until fragrant—about a minute.
          2. Add the quinoa, garlic, salt, and cinnamon to the oil. Stir until the quinoa is coated in oil.
          3. Pour in 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
          4. Remove from heat and stir in the almonds and raisins.
