I am not afraid to try new things, and since my son is experimenting with foods, I joined him in trying Quinoa. Quinoa is a nutrient rich grain and a great source of iron and protein. You can make it with water, or try chicken, beef or vegetable stock to bump up the flavor. Adding vegetables and herbs, make it into a pilaf or tabbouleh, takes Quinoa to a whole new level of goodness. Good food that's good for you, and it's as easy as making rice.
Dried Quinoa looks like tiny sesame seeds.
Get the water boiling. Pour in the Quinoa once the water boils, stir, bring back to a boil and cover. It takes about 12 minutes to cook and absorb the water.
We had the Quinoa with homemade crab cakes, roasted green beans and grape tomatoes.
My husband opted for Lemon Orzo with his!
