This is one of my favorite ways to serve quinoa as a warm side dish with chicken or pork - it is also delicious on its own or on top of a salad.

CURRY QUINOA WITH ALMONDS AND CRANBERRIES



Curry Quinoa With Almonds and Cranberries image

Very simple, healthy and delicious meal. If you like quinoa, you'll love this. I've brought it to many potlucks; it always gets positive remarks. I sometimes leave out the red onion for those you don't like uncooked onions. Be creative with this recipe. You can add or subtract any veggies.

QUINOA PILAF WITH CRANBERRIES



Quinoa Pilaf With Cranberries image

I got the idea for this from the Whole Foods recipe website, and, of course, added some extra spices to make it a bit more interesting. This was a great recipe to clean out the leftover quinoa, dried cranberries and almonds I had in my cubard! Quinoa is naturally wheat and gluten free and is a good source of complete protein for vegans and vegetarians. Be sure to rinse your quinoa really well under cold running water to remove any of the bitter coating from the outside! If you do not have garam masala, your favorite curry poweder will work too.
