Steps:
- In a 12-inch rimmed saute pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. I use and love this ceramic, non-stick, non-toxic pan. Add the cooked quinoa, garbanzo beans, pepitas, curry powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine well. Allow the ingredients to lightly toast and warm through over medium to low heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Turn the burner off and stir in the green onions, parsley, cilantro, pomegranate seeds, lime juice and maple syrup. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. If it is dry add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Enjoy immediately or allow to cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
