    1/2 tsp Cumin
    1/2 tsp Coriander
    1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
    1/2 tsp Oregano

Rinse quinoa well. Add to pot with two cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook 15 - 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add spices and saute until fragrant (~1 minute). Add garlic and saute another minute or so. Add beans with some liquid and simmer liquid. Add limas and corn; return liquid to a simmer. Add red wine and cook 5 - 7 minutes. Add pepper to taste.

Add in cooked quinoa and stir well. Add tomatoes. Turn off heat and cover. Let pan sit several minutes to lightly cook the tomatoes.

    Very Good
    I didn't have Lima beans so substituted green peas. I used Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce. Delicious and satisfying recipe. Will definitely be making this one again -- will let the quinoa go a little drier though. - 2/20/16

    I bought some whole quinoa for breakfast cereal, since I like the flour so much. But I found it didn't work well for that. I'm looking forward to trying the quinoa with this savory recipe. I tried your BBQ Lentil Crunchies recipe, it was great, so I trust your judgment. - 7/21/08
