Super Healthy Steamed Quinoa
Description
Quinoa can be easily steamed with turmeric, cumin, whole oregano and garlic. A Japanese clam shell rice steamer (cheap at Target) works best. Mix it into a fabulous tabbouleh, use it as a side dish or soup base. It stays lovely for several days and makes anything from tuna salad to a main dish meal.

1 cup quinoa
2TBS Olive or grape seed oil
1TBS ground turmeric
1TBS ground cumin
2 TBS Whole Oregano
1TBS Minced fresh garlic
Preparation
Put the oil, herbs and spices in the bottom of the steamer pot. Add quinoa. Add water per measuring cup that comes with the steamer. Steam. Serve hot, cold, or mixed with other foods.
I like serving this as a side dish to a 7 vegetable Moroccan Tagine featuring lamb, red bell peppers, potato, celery, and whatever looks good in the refrigerator. Season with Ras al Hanout, a traditional Moroccan spice blend, or use onion, garlic and cloves. Use a crock pot if you have no Tagine.
