reduce heat to medium-low
place a cover on the saucepan
and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed

and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent
5 to 7 minutes. Stir almonds

and oregano into the vegetable mixture; cook and stir 1 minute more.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir into the mixture in the skillet; cook and stir until evenly mixed and hot
