Tip

It would be hard to overestimate the importance of quinoa in Ecuador. In ancient times this seed was considered sacred, holy and able to provide the ancient Incan warriors with super-human strength. To honour this, every year a festival marking the first harvest was held with a solid gold tool used to harvest the first crop. The invading Spanish Conquistadors, seeing the seed’s importance to the ancient Incans, then proclaimed its cultivation forbidden and punishable by death! Today however, quinoa has reclaimed its role as a main component of the Ecuadorian diet and the agricultural industry. A super food known the world over, this gluten free seed continues to grow in popularity and appear in many modern cuisines. This decadent and creamy “quinotto” replaces rice with quinoa.

    Submitted by TheGreekWay on 2. January 2015 - 23:40.

    For me this recipe was an apocalypse! Fantastic! I used evaporated milk instead of cream and the result was lighter but VERY tasty. This is one of the few recipes I make very often and enjoy it even when the food is cold. It is added value of this recipe, because for example a risotto can't be eatten the next day, but the quinotto is just as perfect as the first day tmrc_emoticons.;) Try it!

    Submitted by supernadsy on 21. October 2013 - 17:17.

    Have just made this one as the idea of risotto using quinoa really appeals to me. Although I'm not a mushroom fan so substituted that for pumpkin and baby spinach. A little too cheesy and creamy for my taste buds but such a great idea! Will definitely try this again with some variations. Thanks!
