Quinoa With Toasted Almonds & Dried Cranberries

Quick & Easy, Healthy, Low Fat, Gluten Free Vegan Quinoa Recipe

This quinoa stove top casserole recipe is delicious by itself, and goes well with moist curry dishes, such as Crockpot Chickpea Curry, or Easy Vegetable Curry.

Low Fat, Gluten Free: Even though quinoa has more fat than most grains, and almonds have fat - because there's just a dab of oil, this is still a low fat, healthy recipe.

But not boring! Quinoa has lots of flavor, and the veggie cube, cinnamon & bay leaf, almonds and cranberries add even more flavor. And, of course quinoa is always gluten free.

4 - 6 Servings: This quinoa stove top casserole cooks quickly because the almonds and quinoa are roasted, and then boiling water is added. The quinoa should be drained well before roasting.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 1/2 cup slivered blanched almonds
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 vegan vegetable bouillon cube
• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Soak the quinoa 15 minutes in cold water

3. Shake dry in the strainer, then set the strainer over a bowl or pitcher
4. Heat a wide bottomed pan on medium heat and add the oil
5. Stir and toast the sliced almonds until golden, then remove from pan
6. Add the quinoa. Stir and toast until dry and turning color
7. Add boiling water, veggie cube, salt, bay leaf and cinnamon stick, and dried cranberries
8. Bring back to boil, cover, turn the heat to simmer, cook for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed
9. Remove from heat and allow to sit five minutes with the lid on
