Ingredients

4 cups of cooked quinoa* 1½ cups of water ¾ cups of walnuts ¼ cup of chopped onion 2 cloves of garlic 1 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning such as Better Than Bouillon (or use vegetable broth instead of water) ¾ teaspoon of sea salt or Himalayan salt

Blend the walnuts with water (or broth), onion, garlic, seasoning and salt. Pour this mix over the cooked quinoa and mix well. Spread over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat. Bake at a low temperature (250°F or 120°C) for 1 to 1½ hours, or until the quinoa is completely dry and with a crumbly texture. After 1 hour of baking, stir the quinoa to dry evenly, and stir every 15 to 20 minutes afterwards until done.

* To cook quinoa use about 1½ cups of dry quinoa and add to 3 cups of boiling water in a saucepan. Lower the heat and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.
