Just got some quinoa

I just bought some quinoa... (pronounced keen-wa)

It looks like a grain, but its really from a spinach-related plant. It's gluten-free, and it happens to be a complete protein (contains essential amino acids). I've tried it once before, but I really don't remember how it tastes so tonight I will try to make some.

I love quinoa! To me, it has a texture very similar to couscous.
