Spicy Quinoa Pilau

"I wanted to make some sort of pialf/pilau type thing with quinoa, read a bunch of different recipes, looked in my cupboard and came up with this. Very aromatic Indian-inspired dish. If you like it less spicy, then leave out the chili. Feel free to play around with the vegetables too, I just used what was in my fridge/freezer. I mostly eyeballed the ingredients, but this is a basic estimation."

  • Add the quinoa, water, cinnamon, coriander seeds, and bay leaves.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 12 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed the water.
