Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quinoa
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup water
¼ cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons minced red onion
½ cup raisins
sea salt to taste
½ cup toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Bring the quinoa, vegetable broth, and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, honey, and curry powder in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cooked quinoa, red onion, and raisins; season to taste with sea salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator several hours until cold.
  • Stir in half of the toasted almonds immediately before serving. Sprinkle the remaining almonds over top to serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra curry powder and a bit of salt and pepper, and it was much better. I would also recommend using a sweeter orange, such as a navel orange.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe, but I'm glad I tried it. The citrus and curry flavors were surprisingly good together, and the raisins and almonds added a nice touch of texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The quinoa was cooked perfectly and the raisins and almonds added a nice touch of sweetness. I would recommend using a milder curry powder if you're not a fan of spicy food.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The quinoa was fluffy and flavorful, and the citrus and curry spices were perfectly balanced. I added a bit of extra spice with a pinch of cayenne pepper, and it was perfect.
