Quinoa, Cherry, Cashew Recipe
1 C. quinoa
3/4 C. fresh squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 cups of Water
2 Tsp of chopped Orange zest
1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup of raw organic cashews (cut in pieces)*
1/4 cup of unsweetened dried cherries (cut in pieces, they will plump up at the end, for the locals, you can find these at Sunflower Market in the refrigerated section)
In a pot bring quinoa, fresh orange juice, and water to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, and cover for 15-20 minutes. Stir and fluff occasionally. Half way through add lightly chopped unsweetened dried cherries and stir well then cover again. The cherries will plump out nicely. The quinoa is finished when the liquid is all absorbed. Add cashews* while quinoa is still hot and stir well.
Once quinoa cools add the fresh mint and orange zest. Stir very well. Place in refrigerator or start eating right away!
* Cashews can be lightly toasted. Just place on tin foil in the toaster oven. Spray with Olive Oil and toast lightly.
* I have made this without the mint as well
