Quinoa with Pecans and Raisins

March 26, 2019 by jlpenner 2 Comments

quinoa-4b250Quinoa is good stuff.  It is super good for you (it’s a superfood, gluten free and a complete protein).

If you have not tried it you really should.  That said, I think it is an acquired taste.  It has a unique flavor.

One of the things I like so much about it is that it cooks as fast at white rice (brown rice takes FOREVER!).  SO if the flavor is new to you you can “break it in” by mixing the white rice and quinoa and cooking them together for kind of a pilaf.

I hope you try my Quinoa with Pecans and Raisins.  I served it with baked Almond crusted fish and it was good together, a nice change from a noodle or rice side dish (and better for you).

You can order quinoa on Amazon or pretty much buy at any store.
