    I made this today. It was the first time I’d tried quinoa, and I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to like it.

    I have to say though, despite it being healthy, it’s really delicious too! The more I ate, the more I wanted…very satisfying. I didn’t have any almonds, so used some toasted pine nuts instead – I think it’s important to have something with a little bite, and this worked perfectly. Top recipe Carla!
