-
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 bunch Italian Parsley chopped
1 can garbanzo beans
2 ripe tomatoes diced
1/2 lemon
2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 cup artichoke hearts in water, chopped
1 oz kalamata olives (black or green) chopped

Add water and bring to a boil. Once at boiling point, cover the πot and TURN OFF the heat, but keep pon on the same burner - allow the residual heat to keep ccoking the grains without scorching them.
2) Add parsley, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives to the cooked quinoa. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, turmeric powder and garlic. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
