Back to Basics
I wondered if I should even post this recipe because it really is a pretty basic thing and not full of fancy frills. But sometimes, even the basic things are not well known. It took me a really long time to learn how to make the perfect rice and quinoa fell under that same category.
To be honest, I do not find quinoa to be the tastiest but it is sometimes a healthier choice.
