Note: Quinoa is a delicately flavored grain that was a staple in the ancient Incas' diet. A good related recipe would be crayfish and prawn salad, it's made of prawn salads and crayfish. It is available in most natural-foods stores and the natural-foods sections of many supermarkets. Toasting the grain before cooking enhances its flavor and rinsing removes any residue of saponin, quinoa's natural, bitter protective covering.
