Fruited Quinoa

I made this to go with cherry glazed ribs. Both recipes came from The Midnight Baker and the quinoa went so well with the ribs, I really loved it but I am on a bit of a quinoa kick these days. 

1 cup quinoa
1 cup orange juice
1 cup water
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup toasted almonds

Rinse the quinoa well and place in a medium saucepan with the orange juice and water.  Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid.  Add in the cherries and toasted almonds.
