Quinoa contains more protein than other grains, and that protein is of unusually high quality for a plant food. That makes this a great filling main dish and the blend of flavors and colors will bring everyone at the table back for more. âSuzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups water |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained |
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned |
1 cup quinoa, rinsed |
1 small red onion, finely chopped |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro |
