Best Toasted Curried Almonds Recipes

CURRIED CITRUS QUINOA WITH RAISINS AND TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Bring the quinoa, vegetable broth, and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, honey, and curry powder in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cooked quinoa, red onion, and raisins; season to taste with sea salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator several hours until cold.
• Stir in half of the toasted almonds immediately before serving. Sprinkle the remaining almonds over top to serve.

Bring to a low simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender (but not mushy).
