Rarely we buy quinoa, but we use it instead of rice sometimes. Usually paired with a curry or stir fry, but partner sometimes decides to make a Franken-meal and just throw stuff together; quinoa is good for adding texture to those meals, along with roasted sesame seeds.

Just don't order it at a fancy cafe for the first time and call it Key-no-ah

It’s ok. I’ve cooked it a few times but not enthused enough to use it regularly. The little tails that curl out when it cooks are interesting, a nice look for salads. It appears in a lot of ‘health’ recipes because it’s got more protein than rice. I usually prefer rice, cous cous or mashed potato if I’m looking for a side to soak up a sauce.

It's like a nutty couscous. Try this recipe

I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but when prepped correctly is quite nice.
