seasoned quinoa

My Lemon Quinoa recipe is a great example of a perfectly seasoned quinoa. It is also easy to make, vegan and gluten free. You can serve it as a side dish with meat, fish, or vegetable dishes or just by itself for a light lunch.

Seasoned Quinoa Recipe

vegetable oil

onion

cumin

garlic

quinoa

salt

black pepper

lemon

lemon juice

parsley

thyme (chopped)

¼ cup sliced almonds (lightly toasted)

radishes (optional)

Heat oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add in the shallots (or onion) and ground cumin. Saute mixing constantly until shallots are translucent or softened 5-6 minutes.

Add in the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds.

Stir in the quinoa and toast (or sautee), stirring constantly, for a minute. Add in the water, salt, and black pepper. Give it a stir. Put the lid on. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and there are tiny holes on the surface of the quinoa.

Turn the heat off and let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid on.

Fluff the now-cooked quinoa with a fork.

Add in lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, sliced almonds, and sliced radishes if using.

Give it a gentle toss and serve while it is still warm.
