Preparation

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook them for 3-4 minutes, until translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and potato, cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then pour in the hot stock.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly (to remove its bitter coating) and add it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat for 18-20 minutes, until the quinoa and vegetables are very tender.
Add the chopped fresh cilantro near the end of cooking, taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
Serve piping hot, with a squeeze of lime on top if you like the tang.
