Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 kumquats, thinly sliced
salt to taste
1 cup quinoa
2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir leek, garlic, and kumquats until nicely browned, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Add quinoa to the kumquat mixture and stir until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the quinoa has fully absorbed the chicken stock, around 20 minutes.
