Recipe: Cumin Raisin Quinoa

This nifty salad makes use of this week's ingredient, as well as last week's (cumin). How convenient! I say salad, because I serve it cold on my menu, but it is just as good warm and therefore would be a terrific side dish.

serves 4-6 as a side

1C quinoa
2C veggie broth/water
1T cumin
1/4c golden raisins
1 small yellow onion, diced

saute onions in oil until translucent
