Drain the excess water through a fine mesh strainer. Shake the quinoa dry in the strainer, then set the strainer aside over a bowl or pitcher.
2.	Heat a wide bottomed pan on medium heat and add the oil. Stir and toast the <a href="/nuts/almonds/slivered.html">slivered almonds</a> until golden, then remove from the heat.
3.	Add the <a href="/cookingbaking/grains/quinoa/white.html">quinoa</a>. Stir and toast until dry. Add the boiling water, veggie cube, salt, bay leaf, <a href="/cookingbaking/herbsspices/cinnamon/sticks.html">cinnamon stick</a> and dried cranberries.
4.	Bring the mixture back to a boil, cover, and turn the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit five minutes with the lid on.
5.	Fluff gently with a fork and serve.

Bay Leaves (Laurel Leaves)
Bay leaves (laurel leaves) deliver a distinct flavor and fragrance to soups, stews, meats, seafood, and vegetable dishes. Our bay leaves are of the highest quality and guaranteed fresh.

Cinnamon Sticks
Cinnamon sticks are a fragrant spice. Add these cassia cinnamon sticks to ciders, cocoa, coffee, or as a decoration in your kitchen.

Organic Quinoa
Organic quinoa is a light, fluffy, gluten-free seed that feels and tastes more like a grain. Packed with protein, fiber, iron and antioxidants, quinoa is a super nutritious and tasty food.

Slivered Almonds
Slivered almonds are ideal for baking and for making cookies. These are made from blanched California almonds that have been shaved into slivered sections.

Whole Dried Cranberries
Our whole dried cranberries are not your average dried cranberries! Why settle for cranberry halves when you can have whole ones? These plump and delicious cranberries might make you cry from their beauty.
