Method:

Set a large, deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Once hot add the oil and use to fry the onion for about 4 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and minced chillies and stir fry for 90 seconds, or until no longer raw.

Add the quinoa and cook, until lightly toasted (about 5 minutes), add more oil during this time if the pan seems dry.

Now add in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir in the curry powder then cover the pan and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated and the quinoa is tender (five minutes before the end of cooking stir in the peas).

Season to taste and serve as an accompaniment.
