Recipe Friday: Sesame-Carrot Quinoa Pilaf

My friend requested a quinoa recipe.  So here you go, Magel!

Sesame-Carrot Quinoa Pilaf


1 C quinoa, rinsed and drained
2C water
1 carrot, shredded
pinch of sea salt
2 TBSP toasted sesame seeds
2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Place quinoa in a pan over medium-low heat. Toast quinoa, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 5 minutes.  Add water, carrot, and salt.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.  Add seeds and oil and fluff gently with a fork to combine.
