Steps:
- Combine quinoa, cold water, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, onion, carrot, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir almonds, tomato, raisins, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano into the vegetable mixture; cook and stir 1 minute more.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir into the mixture in the skillet; cook and stir until evenly mixed and hot, about 30 seconds.
- Divide between 3 plates; sprinkle the top of each portion with a scattering of a few coarse sea salt granules for a surprising crunch of salty goodness.

SAFFRON QUINOA WITH DRIED CHERRIES AND ALMONDS
Saffron rice is an indispensable accompaniment in Persian cuisine, and it tastes just as good made with fluffy quinoa. Crushing and steeping the saffron in hot water brings out its full flavor and color. If you have coconut oil on hand, the naturally sweet flavor pairs nicely with the cherries and almonds.

Steps:
- Crush saffron, if using, with the handle of a wooden spoon (or crush between your fingers) in a small bowl until a powder forms. Add 1 Tbsp. hot water. Swirl gently; set aside to steep.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add almonds, cinnamon, cayenne, and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer almonds to a small bowl; reserve oil in pot.
- Heat oil in pot over medium-high. Add onion and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 1 1/2 tsp. salt, reduce heat to medium, and cook until onion is light brown and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add quinoa and cook, tossing to coat, until fragrant and beginning to brown, 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 4 cups water, cover pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed, 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle cherries over, cover, and let sit 10 minutes.
- Transfer 2 cups quinoa mixture to a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup toasted almonds, then toss remaining almonds with remaining quinoa mixture and transfer to a platter. Toss quinoa in bowl with saffron water until coated, then garnish platter with saffron quinoa. Top with remaining toasted almonds.
- Do Ahead
- Quinoa, with cherries, can be cooked 3 days ahead. Transfer to a resealable container and chill. Reheat over low on stovetop or in a 300°F oven until warmed.

TOASTED ALMOND AND QUINOA PILAF
From the LCBO's Food&Drink, Autumn 2011. This pilaf is surprisingly flavorful and makes for lovely presentation. It is easily made vegetarian by substituting vegetable stock. Though it is meant to be made with quinoa and almonds, I had millet and flax seed on hand, and it was still delicious. To use millet, add an extra 1/2 c of stock and give it an extra 5 minutes of both cooking and covered time.

TOASTED ALMOND
Ahhh...this drink goes down smooth and is sure to please! This is one of the drinks that I make most often, especially in the colder months when I am not in the mood for something fruity. I first had this drink on a cruise through the Mediterranean, and this is the closest I can come to replicating it. Both DH and I love it, as it is neither too strong or too sugary/fruity. Feel free to alter the ratios to your own enjoyment! The taste can change a lot based on how much of each liquor you add.

Steps:
- Put ice cubes into a glass (about the size of a regular drinking glass).
- Add all liquor and then top off with the mixer.
- The creams will (obviously) give you a much richer, creamier drink. DH uses almond milk because he is lactose intolerant, and the taste compliments the amaretto. It can be found in the dairy or baking section of most groceries. Milk is also okay, but it will taste thinner and weaker.
- Stir thoroughly to mix ingredients.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven until lightly toasted, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan or a high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Make a space in the center of the vegetables and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the quinoa and cook, stirring constantly, until coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer until all of the broth has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Keep covered and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the arugula, almonds, mint, cucumber and lemon zest and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
