Curried Quinoa with Garbanzo Beans and Roasted Peppers

01Method

1. 1

   Place the raisins in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak while you prepare the rest of the dish.

2. 2

   Warm olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, cumin, cilantro, and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

3. 3

   Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the garbanzo beans and quinoa. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the quinoa is fully tender, about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Drain the soaked raisins. Gently fold the raisins, roasted red peppers, and toasted almonds into the quinoa mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and serve.
