Creator Notes
Right here’s my turn out to be worse luck offering. It is a hearty aspect dish, tasty and an very honest appropriate capability to introduce of us to quinoa, if they have never tried it earlier than. I on the total accomplish as a minimal a double batch (leftovers retain thoroughly, appropriate retain the almonds separate), and if I am cooking for any vegetarians, I simply sub the chicken broth for vegetable broth. The usual recipe came from the back of my 10-lb Costco gain of quinoa, see you later ago, I attain now not take into accout the logo. I’ve made tweaks over time and on the total cook it from memory now, even though I am definite I level-headed have the recipe clipping stashed someplace… It be a extensive aggregate of candy (from the cranberries), savory (attain NOT omit the bay leaf!) and at ease spice (cinnamon). I’ve impressed many quinoa-beginners with this one! —TheFritschKitchen
