Lemon Cumin Quinoa
A fragrant combination of quinoa with lemon, cumin, scallions, avocado, raisins and apricots.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, soak the raisins and apricots in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the quinoa, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat.
- Cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is translucent and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and turn it out on a baking sheet to cool at room temperature.
- Finely grate the zest from the lemon and then squeeze 1 tablespoon juice in a small bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice with the olive oil, coriander, cumin, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, toss the vinaigrette with the quinoa, raisins, apricots, avocado, scallions and almonds.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Fabulous recipe - ingredient list misses a couple of items, slivered almonds and cumin. So dont forget to put these on the shopping list. Felt the mixture was a bit wet even after 15 minutes evaporative cooking, put in the oven for 5 minutes uncovered to dry out a little
