INSTRUCTIONS
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
In a fine sieve rinsed the quinoa under cold water for 1 minute and drain
it well. In a heavy saucepan cook the onion in the oil over moderately low
heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the cumin, the cinnamon, and the
turmeric, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa
and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broth, the water, the
currants, the tomatoes, and the salt and simmer the mixture, covered, for
15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat,
let the mixture stand, covered, for 5 minutes, and stir in the parsley.
Divide the quinoa mixture among 6 buttered 1/2-cup timbale molds, packing
it, and invert the timbales onto a platter. Serves 6.
