Heat oil in pan, and fry the onion until tender (a few minutes). Add cumin. Rinse the quinoa then add to pan, and coat well with the oil/cumin.

Tips

Serving Idea • This goes really well with roasted orange squash, like butternut, acorn or pumpkin. Roast the squash ahead of time in large quantities, cut and freeze; then microwave and add, or toss in for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serving Idea • Pair with sausages or baked chicken breasts for an easy meal.
