Copyright John Paul Urizar

It's pronounced keen-wa and can be used just like rice or cous cous. Unlike cous cous it is gluten free and unlike rice it has a very low GI. This dish is a perfect side dish to accompany any meat or fish dish.

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 piece preserved lemon, finely sliced
¼ cup coriander, chopped
Method

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place in a pan with 2 cups water. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover to cook for 15 minutes.

While the quinoa is cooking, dry roast the pine nuts in a frying pan until fragrant and golden. Toss the pine nuts through the quinoa with the preserved lemon, nigella seeds coriander and season with black pepper.

Note: Nigella seeds are often used on Turkish bread or Indian naan bread. Used extensively in the Middle East and South East Asia, they are eaten by elephants to ease digestion. We can eat them to help relieve gas!
