Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 ¾ cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons annatto paste (achiote)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 dried chipotle chile pepper
kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cover quinoa with vegetable broth in an oven-proof saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven until quinoa is dry and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Keep covered.

  • Toss the mixture with the baked quinoa. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used mild chorizo in this recipe. It was still very flavorful.
