Ingredients:

1     cup           quinoa
                    = (small, flat, disk-shaped seeds,
                    available at natural foods stores and
                    many specialty foods shops)
1     small         onion
1     tablespoon    olive oil
1     teaspoon      ground cumin
1/2   teaspoon      cinnamon
1/4   teaspoon      turmeric
1     cup           chicken broth
2/3   cup           water
1/3   cup           dried currants or raisins
1/4   cup           chopped drained canned tomatoes
1/2   teaspoon      salt
3     tablespoons   finely-chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a fine sieve, rinse 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.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
