Curried Quinoa with Garbanzo Beans and Peppers
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Prepare the raisins by submerging them in a bowl of warm water, allowing them to rehydrate while you proceed with the rest of the recipe.
2
In a large saucepan, warm olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes soft and its color changes to a translucent state, taking approximately 5 minutes. Introduce curry powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, and grated ginger into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the spices release their aroma, which should take around 30 seconds.
3
Combine vegetable broth, cooked garbanzo beans, and quinoa in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before reducing the heat to medium-low and covering it with a lid. Allow the quinoa to become tender, which should take around 20 minutes.
4
Once the raisins have rehydrated in their water, gently mix them with the cooked quinoa mixture, roasted red peppers, and toasted almonds. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the dish to enhance its flavor.
