spiced quinoa with dried cherries and pecans

1 cup quinoa rinsed

half of cup

cherries

pecans

1 small chopped onion and a few chopped garlic cloves

1 tsp

salt

pepper

garam masala

cumin

heat pan on medium high with one tbs of olive oil and add onion and garlic when translucent add your spices and stir around. they will dry up the fat pretty quickly. when the pan seems a little too dry i add a tbs of butter and throw in the the cherries and pecans and quinoa and stir around for a few minutes making sure everything is coated in fat and spices. then i add two cups of water and turn the fire up to high until it comes to a boil and then i lower the heat to low and cover for twenty minutes. when twenty minutes is over i turn off the heat and let it sit for about a good five to ten minutes and then uncover and stir.yummy.
