Author: Lisa Le

Ingredients

  • • 1 medium-sized onion diced
  • • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • • 4 medium-sized carrots peeled and sliced
  • • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • • 1 tsp allspice
  • • 1 tsp curry powder
  • • 1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
  • • 1 lime juiced

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the quinoa. Add to 1.5 cups of vegetable broth in a pot and cook for about 20 minutes, covered, on medium low. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Brown the onions and garlic with olive oil over medium heat and cook until fragrant. The edges of the onion will start to brown, it'll stick a bit to the bottom of the pot but it'll be delicious.
  • Add the spices and spread around on the onions. Add the vegetable broth and mix.
  • Add carrots and cover, simmering over medium heat until the carrots are softened, about 20 minutes.
  • Once you can piece the carrots easily with a fork, either carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and purée, or use an immersion blender until everything looks like baby food.?Mix in the cooked quinoa, add lime juice, mix and serve hot.
