The past year or so, I have been trying out foods I have not had or cooked before. We fell in love with Quinoa. This dish is full of flavor thanks to the onion, bell pepper and chicken stock ! For this recipe I used the Red Inca Quinoa, but you can use the yellow as well. Sometimes I add mushrooms and diced carrot, too. I just used what I had on hand at this time. Enjoy ! Quinoa is high in protein and can be used in place of a meat protein. * To make this vegetarian, just use vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock. * When serving with beef, use beef stock.
