Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook and stir leek, garlic, and kumquats until brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt.

  2. Cook and stir quinoa into kumquat mixture until quinoa is toasted, about 1 minute, add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa has absorbed the chicken stock, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Note

This quinoa dish goes extremely well with fish. I bake the fish with kumquats as well. Try it with multi-colored quinoa.
