Instructions
Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water. Drain well.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan until hot.
Sauté the onions in the oil until they are soft and transparent (4-5 minutes).
Add the ginger, cayenne and quinoa and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the remaining spices and cook for another minute and stir.
Add the water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the peas, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the peas are tender and the water has been absorbed.
Fluff with a fork and add the cilantro before serving.
