Ingredients

1 1/2 cups dry quinoa
3 cups no-salt-added or low sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1/2 cup raw pistachio nuts
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup unsweetened dried cherries or raisins
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon coconut aminos
black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve until water runs clear, drain and transfer to a medium pot. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until broth is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes, uncover and fluff with a fork.

Toast cumin seeds for 8 minutes at 200 degrees F, stirring occasionally. Toast pistachios and almonds at 250 degrees F for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow nuts to cool and then roughly chop them.

Heat a pan for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add onion dry and saute for 4 minutes or until translucent. Stir onions into quinoa, along with toasted cumin seeds, chopped pistachios and almonds, dried cherries, cilantro, onion powder, curry powder, coconut aminos and black pepper.
