Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup dry quinoa rinsed well
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 cup coconut milk (8 oz) lite or regular
  • 1 cup Kettle & Fire Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 cup cashew pieces approximate

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and salt and stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is golden, stirring occasionally.

  2. Add dry quinoa and turmeric to the pan and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the quinoa to toast slightly, and then pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Raise the heat to high and let the liquid come to a boil.

  3. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce heat to low to bring everything to a simmer. Simmer for 20 or so minutes, or until just about all of the liquid has been absorbed.

  4. Once the liquid is absorbed, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork, and stir in cashews prior to serving.
