Quinoa is one of my favorite side dishes and elevating it to something different and new is so easy to do. If you didn't already know, quinoa is an edible seed with great protein and fiber nutrients. This is another reason to add it to your meals as a side, we can all use a little more fiber and protein in my opinion.
If you don't have some of the spices for this recipe you can easily just use curry and cumin for exceptional flavors.
