Quinoa with Dried Cranberries and Almonds
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa *
2 cups water
2 bouillon cubes, vegetable or chicken
1/3 cup dried cranberries (you can substitute raisins or other chopped dried fruit)
¼ cup almonds, chopped and toasted (I toast mine in the microwave)
2 Tbsp orange juice
Directions
In a medium sized saucepan bring water, quinoa, and bouillon cubes to a boil. Stir in cranberries and orange juice. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Uncover, add almonds, and serve. How easy is that?
Leftovers are great to use cold in a salad.
* I’ve tried traditional quinoa and Inca red quinoa, which has a little more fiber and bite to the grain, and like them both.
