Rice with Quinoa and Turmeric

When cooking curries I almost always serve them with rice, usually steamed basmati.  This is an alternative to plain rice and the quinoa adds extra protein and fibre to the meal.  I think it goes especially well with vegetarian or vegan dishes.

What you will need:

1/3 cup quinoa, rinsed
2/3 cup basmati rice
1 cup water
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp vegetable or chicken stock powder

What you need to do:

1.  Bring the water to the boil and add the turmeric, stock powder, quinoa and rice.

2.  Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 12 minutes.  By this time all the water should have been absorbed and the rice and quinoa tender.

3.  Remove from the heat and leave covered for another five minutes before serving.
