Quinoa
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes
Quinoa is very high in protein and "contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food" according to Wikipedia. It's also easy to cook and tasty - what more could we want? You can substitute Basmati of Jasmine rice.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa, 100gr, 3.5oz
- 1 cup chicken stock, 225gr, 8oz
Instructions:
- Combine quinoa and stock in small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until done, about 15 minutes (or whatever your package says). Serve.
Note: Quinoa has a red and a black variety as well as the tan.
