Latest food trend.

so Here's our latest on our food trend... I am so happy I got introduced to Quinia! when i first saw i mistakened it for couscous. What it is is a fluffy grain that comes from the Incas. it's an awesome substitute to rice. Being vegatarian and Gluten free i find myself resorting to rice a lot and I really don't want that esp bc rice isn't the healthiest and i like to eat well. Quinia is a fluffy grain that is really high in protein and low in carbs. best of all it's GLUTEN FREEE. tHE FIRST tiem i made it at home was This past Thanksgiving Nov 2010. it's been around for forever, but it was only when i was in Egypt that i became introduced from foreigners living in egypt. What's so cool about it too is that you can make so much out of this grain, i have got all these recipes that call for quinoa in your breakfast lunch and dinner meal.. from muffins to pancakes, to quinoa as a salad entree and as a rice substitute.

I learned from my Aunt a delicious recipe and today I finally made it. i promise you that this is sure to become everyones favorite and especially if your like me and gluten intolerant you better believe that this is your new best friend! I cooked Quinoa with the recipe she gave me: sauteed some onions for 5 min, added carrots and cooked it for 3 minutes then poured in my quinoa and vegi broth and cooked for another 15 minutes. I also added in some garlic but I am not sure if the recipe calls for it. After cooking it on medium low for fifteen minutes i poured it in the serving bowl and mixed in parsley and walnuts. It was so tasty that we housed it all! I also made sweet potatoes, sprinkled a little olive oil, garlic, oregano, and paprika. I actually purposely didn't eat much quinia bc i wanted to devour all the sweet potatoes. It was delicious. Here's a cool article i came across today about my best friend, Quinoa.
