For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the quinoa. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, such as cranberries or chopped dates, for the raisins. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant touch of heat to the dish. Vegetable broth can replace water to enhance the flavor of the quinoa.
