  • Fill a large saucepan with water, and add your quinoa, preserved lemon, and some salt. Boil for 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, add the coconut oil, ras el hanout, cumin, apricots, crushed garlic, and a few crushed mint leaves. Cook on a low heat for about 10-15 minutes, and then set aside.
