Golden Coconut Cumin Quinoa 💛 One of my favorite ways to make quinoa 🥰 Ingredients: * 1 cup quinoa, rinsed * 1 cup water or vegetable broth * ½ cup canned coconut milk * 1 tbsp cumin seeds * 1 tsp turmeric * ½ onion, finely diced (or 1 shallot) * 2 frozen garlic cubes (or 2–3 cloves fresh garlic, minced) * Salt, to taste * 1 whole Thai chili (optional) * Sliced green onions for garnish Directions: 1. Sauté the onion (or shallot) until softened. Add the frozen garlic cubes (or fresh minced garlic) and cook until fragrant. 2. Add the cumin seeds and turmeric and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant. 3. Stir in the rinsed quinoa, then add the water and coconut milk, and salt. 4. Bring to a boil. Once it begins boiling, add the whole Thai chili (poke a small slit in it first if you’d like a little more heat), cover, reduce the heat, and let the quinoa finish cooking. 5. Remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes. 6. Remove the lid and let it sit uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes so the remaining steam can escape, then fluff gently with a fork. 7. Finish with sliced green onions #vegan #glutenfree #quinoa #easyveganrecipes #mealprepideas - @aleyshacooks
