Receta Spanish Quinoa
I have gotten to where
I love quinoa so much. Even my family thinks it’s fantastic. I decided to take
our normal Spanish rice recipe and switch out the rice for quinoa. I am sure
happy I gave it a try it’s fantastic.
I love the texture and
I love that it’s something different I also love the extra protein that comes
with cooking with quinoa!
Another great things about
using the quinoa versus rice is the fact that this recipe cooks up much faster
and you are not spending as much time in the kitchen!!
