Curried Quinoa and Chickpeas

 Due to a request on FB, I bring to you my favorite quinoa recipe.

1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup orange juice  (I usually do 1 cup water and 1 cup o.j. myself)
1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, diced (or any other color bell pepper)
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries (The recipe actually says raisins, but I hate raisins)
1 tsp. curry powder
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro (I don't know that I've ever used fresh, although now I've discovered how much better it is than dried I will be the next time I make this.  1/2 cup seems like an awful lot to me.  I'd probably start with 1/4 cup if not less and see how that goes.)

1.  In a large saucepan, bring water and o.j. to a boil.  STire in chickpeas, tomatoes, red pepper, quinoa, onion, cranberries, and curry.  Return to a boil.  REduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.  *Make sure to check the quinoa for "doneness" and add more water as needed.
2.  Remove from heat; fluff with a fork.  "Sprinkle with cilantro.  *Here you can just add the cilantro to taste and see how much you use.
