For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Adjust the amount of curry powder and ancho chile powder to suit your preferred level of spice. Toast the quinoa: Toasting quinoa before cooking enhances its nutty flavor. Keep a close eye on it, as it can burn quickly. Rinse the quinoa: Rinsing quinoa removes its natural coating, called saponin, which can make it taste bitter. Add fresh herbs: For a burst of freshness, stir in chopped cilantro, parsley, or mint after cooking.
