Ingredients

    1 tbsp red wine vinegar
    2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1.25 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp oregano
    1 ttsp ground cumin
    1 tbsp chili powder
    dash or two or ground cinnamon
    3 tbsp ketchup
    1 tbsp yellow mustard
    hot sauce, salt & pepper, to taste
    1 cup of Quinoa*
    *(i used two cups of a red quinoa brown rice blend which has been pre-cooked since I didn't have quinoa on hand. Nutritional Info will change depending on grain of choice. I can see rice or millet also used for this recipe)

Tips

-Since I used a precooked grain I only added in 1 cup of water, cooked for 5 minutes then let sit to merge flavors


Directions

-Whisk 2 cups of water with red wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, ketchup, and mustard together until well combined.
- Add in grain of choice, cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring every so often until all teh water has absorbed, about 10-20 minutes**.
Add salt, pepper and hot sauce, stirring to combine
-Set aside covered for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to merge before serving
**NOTE**If liquid has not cooked off after 20 minutes, remove lid and cook uncovered
