INGREDIENTS:

If not pre-rinsed, rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear. Set strainer over a bowl to finish draining.

Heat oil in a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper and saute until quite soft and starting to caramelize – about 4-5 minutes.

Add quinoa with spices, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir to coat quinoa with spices and lightly toast the quinoa.

Cook until quinoa is starting to appear more dry and sticking to the bottom of the pan a little bit.
