Steps

1

Cook the quinoa in water for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make a sofrito by sautéing the onion and garlic, then add the ground turmeric (optional), salt, pepper, and cumin.
2

Add the onion sofrito to the cooked quinoa and cook for about 5 more minutes so the flavors blend well.
3

When everything is well cooked and almost ready to remove from the heat, add milk, diced cheese, and finally the huacatay.
4

To prepare the brown rice, use 2 3/4 cups water (about 650 ml) for every 1 cup of rice mixed with black or red quinoa to boost the nutritional value. Hope you enjoy it!
