Outside of the box is good! That is what I did this weekend, I prepared a new quinoa dish for my family, and I took the quinoa out of the box… This meal was of firsts, first time I tried red quinoa and it is delicious, plus I enjoy looking at vibrant colors on my plate, and also the first time I stuffed tomatoes. This delicious and nutritious recipe was fun and easy to prepare, and my guests loved it.
Ingredients:
- Red quinoa
