A delightful and creamy dish combining quinoa and pearl couscous, perfect for a healthy and quick meal.
Heat the olive oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat.
Using a high-quality olive oil can enhance the flavor of the dish.
Add the chopped red onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced green onions, cooking for an additional minute.
Adding the garlic later prevents it from burning and turning bitter.
Mix in the quinoa, pearl couscous, ground ginger, and ground cumin, stirring to coat.
Toasting the grains slightly before adding liquid can enhance their flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Ensure the lid is tightly closed to retain steam and cook the grains evenly.
Remove the lid and stir in the toasted sliced almonds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the dish before adding salt, as the broth may already provide sufficient seasoning.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serving the dish immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
