Ingredients
2 cups water 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup quinoa 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped coarsely
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice I bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon paprika 1 red bell pepper finely diced,
or 3 tablespoons dried sweet bell peppers
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in quinoa, cover pot, and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off flame and let quinoa remain in the covered pot for another 10 minutes so grain will absorb water.
Transfer quinoa to a salad bowl and fluff slightly with a fork every few minutes until grain cools.
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over moderate heat, stirring until nuts are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
When the quinoa is cool, add remaining ingredients and toss until grain is coated. Serve and enjoy.
