Directions

1. Over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. (Add a little water to keep from sticking to pan)

2.  Mix quinoa into onion mixture and cover with chicken broth; season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
