SPANISH RICE USING QUINOA
My boys love Spanish rice in a restaurant but we only eat brown rice at home and I was not happy with the results. Using a basic Spanish Rice recipe, I replaced the rice with Quinoa. If you haven't tried Quinoa you must - It is just so yummy and easy to make! Be sure to rinse it very well (VERY well!) or it could taste bitter.

- Lower heat & simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- Add remaining ingredients & mix well.
