Another fantastic healthy dinner from my wife Chef Lisa!! So have you
tried quinoa instead of rice? If you have not you do not know what you
are missing! Even our two year old LOVES it!! It has a different texture
and the taste is amazing. Chef Lisa cooked this awesome Carolina
country grilled chicken, with steamed fresh (farmers market) broccoli
and then put a twist instead of having are usual brown rice, she made up
a great new dish of roasted red peppers, fresh grown basil from our
garden with quinoa.... Quinoa is a species of "goosefoot". Basically a
grain like crop used for its seeds. Its is closely related to spinach on
the scientific side of things, but does not taste like spinach. It
takes on the flavor of the seasoning you cook it with. It has been
around for over 4,000 years according to history. Primarily grown in
South America. The biggest exporter of quinoa is Peru. Quinoa has been
known to be called a SUPERFOOD. It has a high protein content, great
source of fiber, magnesium, IRON and phosphorus. I will be posting the
recipes soon so keep checking back......
