Quinoa Timbales
dubbed the supergrain of the future, quinoa (keen-wah) is high in fiber and contains all the essential amino acids which makes it a complete protein. The seeds are small, round, and usally cream-colored, although some varieties are black. You can serve the dish from a bowl if you don't want to from the timbales.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add quinoa, currants, and apricots. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Combine the oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl, and stir well with a whisk. Add the parsley, walnuts, and onions; stir well. Stir in the quinoa mixture. Place 3 cherry tomato halves, cut sides down, in the bottom of each of 6 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. Pack about 1/2 cup quinoa mixture into each ramekin. Immediately invert the ramekins onto individual plates.

Good easy recipe. I used only half of the amount of cumin. My friends loved the "timbal" presentation.
I will make it again .

This recipe is excellent. Made only minor adjustments to account for personal taste and dietary restrictions...I traded out the apricot for pineapple and the olive oil for flax oil. Since I was just making it for myself I didn't bother with the ramekins and just ate this out of a bowl so may leave out the oil completely next time. I will definitely make this again.
