Recipe tip from Mrs. Stip... Avocado and smoked salmon quinoa...
Quinoa (pronounce kienwah). What is that really and how to prepare it best?
At first glance, quinoa looks just like couscous (semolina) but that's just plain. Couscous is made from wheat, which is a type of grain and therefore also contains gluten. Quinoa, on the other hand, is not and is not made of grain, it is the seeds of the quinoa plant, a plant from the amaranth family (spinach also belongs to this family).
Actually, it's quite easy to prepare quinoa once you know how to treat these grains.
Rinse, rinse, rinse is very important to get rid of the bitter taste of the seeds. It's better to rinse too much than too little.
