Cumin Quinoa

Cook  1 cup quinoa (2 cups water will be needed)

While quinoa is cooking, in your big frying pan, the one with high walls, heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Add 2 cloves pressed garlic.
1 can corn
1 can chickpeas
1 cup frozen peas
1 carrot, peeled and diced

Add quinoa when it is done.  Add another tbsp olive oil.  If things start drying out, add a little more.

Add spices:
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp coriander
2 tbsp cumin
grind in some pepper, maybe about 10-15 cranks
3 tsp salt, add more to taste
