We're Keen on Quinoa
We had quinoa for supper last night. We've been hearing about this wonder grain for some time but just haven't gotten around to trying it. There was a recipe in the newspaper for roasted broccoli with quinoa. I used an organic quinoa that I found at Harry's Farmers Market in Alpharetta. I'm sure the grain is available just about anywhere. I just happened to be in Harry's neighborhood and haven't been there in a while, so I popped in. All in all, I thought it turned out fine. I suppose you could substitute quinoa for many recipes that call for rice. I usually use frozen broccoli but since this called for roasting the florets, I went with fresh. It all tasted great. We had it with cod and a salad and I had a glass of Georgia muscadine wine. A lightbut filling meal that was easy to make. I see more quinoa, apparently pronounced KEEN-wah here in the States, in our future.

I like quinoa too! It's great with chicken and roasted vegetables. I treat it as an alternative to cous-cous which I can't have because it's wheat.
