Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 350°F Toast almonds on baking sheet for approximately 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Place the quinoa in a strainer. Place under running water, rinsing until the water runs clear.

  4. Add the broth and rinsed quinoa to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until the liquid is completely absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  6. Add the almonds and raisins and cook until heated.
  7. Season with salt.
  8. Decorate with the mint, if desired, and serve.
