Preparation

Step 1


1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


2 Place quinoa and a pinch of saffron in the rice cooker and cook in water according to manufacturers instructions (I cook it on the White Rice setting and it comes out perfectly).


3 In a large oven proof dish, place the carrots, parsnips, shallots, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, and all the other spices. Mix to combine.


4 Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.


5 Remove from the oven and add the sweet potato. Continue cooking for 35 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Now add dried apricots, chickpeas, and 1 1/2 cups water. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.


6 Remove the dish from the oven and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked red quinoa and the cilantro leaves. Taste and season with sea salt as necessary.


7 Serve warm or at room temperature.
