Soak quinoa for 3-4 hours to promote the production of essential for digestion enzymes and to increase nutrient availability. Rinse thoroughly under running water through a fine-mesh colander. Drain well and set aside.
Chop celery into fine cubes.
Melt coconut oil (or ghee) in a deep skillet on medium heat, add Universal sattvic spice mix. Combine well and warm up the spices.
Transfer chopped celery to a skillet. Mix well, cover with a lid and saute for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, peel and shred carrot using the fine setting. Combine shredded carrots with celery and saute for another 5 min. or until caramelized.
In a kettle, set 2 cups of filtered water to a boil.
Transfer quinoa into a skillet, roast slightly while continuously stirring for 1 to 2 minutes (watch me do it in the video).
Add boiling hot water into a skillet, stir well, add salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for about 15 min. or until all liquid is gone.
Optional: Add a teaspoon of vegan butter, black currants (or raisins), along with roasted cashews, and serve right away.
