2 cups water
½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup walnut oil

½ cup unsalted roasted peanuts
½ cup mangoes, peaches or fruit of your choice
2 tbsp. fresh mint leaves, chopped

Combine quinoa and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add raisins and continue cooking until all liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and spread the mixture on a baking sheet. Let it cool completely.
