Directions

  1. Use 70g of quinoa per person (even though it may seem like a small amount, you will find that it has a very high capacity for absorbing liquids); rinse thoroughly under running water; pour the quinoa into boiling water (150ml for 70g), and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the grains open up; drain and season to your liking.
  2. In a pan, heat a little olive oil and sauté the chopped garlic and onion until softened.
  3. Chop all the vegetables into small dice, making sure they are not too large, and add them gradually to the soffritto. ≈ 8 min
  4. Season with salt and pepper. ≈ 2 min
  5. Cook for 20 minutes, then add the cardamom and cloves.
  6. Continue cooking the vegetables, adding water to keep the broth liquid.
  7. Add the thoroughly rinsed quinoa and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the grains have opened.
  8. Season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or add some cheese. ≈ 2 min
