In another pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. 4. Add the cooked quinoa to the pan with vegetables, then pour in brewed coffee. Stir in turmeric, cumin, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. 5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of yogurt if desired.
