Servings: persons

1 cup Quinoa
1 1/2 cups Vegetable broth
15 ounces Can garbanzo beans/chickpeas
1 Roma tomato (diced)
1/4 cup Dried cherries
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Curry powder
1/4 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Cloves

1
Soak the quinoa in cool water for ten minutes. Strain, rinse and let drain for 20 minutes. Lightly toast the quinoa in a saucepan to remove excess liquid. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2
While the quinoa is draining, prepare the garbanzo beans. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drain and dry the beans with a paper towel. Toss them with the olive oil and 1/2 tsp of salt and place them on a cookie sheet. Let them roast in the oven for 15 minutes. When it's finished roasting remove them from the oven and set them aside in a separate dish, keeping them as warm as possible.
3
Mix the curry, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt together and whisk it in the vegetable broth in a saucepan. Add the dried cherries to the broth and bring to a rapid boil.
4
Add the quinoa to the broth and turn down the heat to a simmer. Cover the saucepan, leaving a little bit open for ventilation, and let it simmer until the liquid is no longer visible and the seeds show a white center spot with a ring around them (like saturn's rings) This should take about 20 minutes.
5
Fluff quinoa with a fork and place into serving bowl. Toss in the roasted chickpeas and diced tomato. Enjoy!
