Here is a quick and easy one that you can make ahead and keep in the fridge to snack on.... Quinoa with Indian Spices 1 cup quinoa (red, white or mixed) 1 onion, chopped 2 Tbs olive oil, separated 2 Tbs jalapeno, chopped, one large or to taste 2 cups cauliflower, cut into one inch florets Salt, to taste ½ tsp turmeric 1 ½ tsp red chili powder (or to taste) 1 ½ tsp cumin powder 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed ½ cup peas, frozen or fresh Dressing ½ tsp cumin powder 2 Tbs lemon juice 1 Tbs olive oil ½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped 10 cashews, roasted and split into half lengthwise (optional) Rinse the quinoa a few times in cold water. Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add quinoa. Cover and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat. Turn off heat and let quinoa sit for another 15 to 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid. While the quinoa is cooking, heat a 12 inch skillet with 1 tbsp oil. Toss in the onion, jalapeno and a pinch salt. Stir often and let cook until the onions soften and start to turn brown. About 10 minutes. Add in the cauliflower, turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, salt and half cup water. Stir. Cover and cook until the cauliflower softens. About 10 to 15 minutes. Add in the garbanzo beans and peas. Stir. Mix in the cooked quinoa. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, and ½ tsp of cumin powder and ½ tsp salt. Whisk it together well with a fork. Pour over the quinoa. Add the cashew halves and cilantro. Mix well and serve. Made 8/20/13 I made some changes to the original. I did not use the cauliflower or the cashews.
