I made this meal as a side without the chicken but instead added fresh rosemary and italian parsley. It was delicious alongside grilled haddock and a fresh salad. I think the addition of more flavor using herbs contributed significantly.

Cous Cous is far nicer. I’ve tried and tried to like quinoa but i guess its just not for me.

I do like quinua and sometimes serve it instead of rice with my curry. Has anyone tried that? If not I advise it

I liked the way they showed how easy it is to cook quinua. I cook it in different forms, and the truth is that the grain absorbs flavors easily, and it has a mild yet pleasant flavor, making it easy to combine with vegetables or white meat.

Not to be fastidious, but I would like to comment on the pronounciation of the cook. The word quinua comes from a spanish interpretation of a quechua word. In both languages, the accent is placed on the first syllable, not the last one. The way they pronounce it in the video makes it sound french, instead.

I have used this recepie with black quinoa, its a little more crunchy and i preffer it. Black quinoa is crunchier in texture and has a stronger grain-like flavor.

@Tanya I’ve done some research and a combination of a short crop (due to weather conditions) and increased demand in 2008 has driven prices up. For more information, check out: http://www.andeannaturals.com/AN/News/Entries/2008/8/28_Unprocessed_quinoa_prices_almost_triple_in_2008.html

Price of Quinoa- I love quinoa, and have noticed the price has been escalating rapidly- what is going on, is there a shortage, is there a sustainability issue?

Thanks!!!

Video very distracting. Info very good. Never tried quinua but intend to because the recipe looks good and nutrition info interesting. Please include more recipes, if possible, for quinua.
