Beet Quinoa

This one is super yummy and healthy. I served it with a fresh green salad and tofu steaks.
Here's what you need...

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cup water
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 grated, peeled, raw beet
1 grated, peeled, raw carrot
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 pinches cayenne pepper
sea salt to taste

In a medium size saucepan, heat the quinoa in the oil for a few minutes. Add cumin. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.
Add water, salt, and balsamic vinegar. Be careful, it might splatter.
Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and cover until all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in beets and carrots. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice, cayenne, and more salt to taste.
