Quinoa has been used as a cereal for over 5,000 years and was regarded as a sacred food by the South American Incas. It’s gluten-free and an excellent source of protein as well as B vitamins.
I used a packet of quick-cook Tilda super grain coconut quinoa, brown basmati and wild rice for this dish. It's available from most supermarkets.
