How to Make Moroccan Style Quinoa
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and saffron (if using) and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Stir in the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. Stir in the dried apricots and fresh cilantro.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with toasted slivered almonds (optional) before serving.
