One-pot rice and quinoa

When you add quinoa to your pot of white rice, the grains end up every bit as fluffy and comforting, but with a lighter, bouncier texture, and an added helping of protein and fiber. Use this mix anytime you might plain white rice: in salads, with stir-fries or as a simple side. Be sure to check the package of quinoa to see if it's been pre-washed; if it hasn't, before cooking rinse it twice and shake it dry to remove its naturally occurring bitter, soapy coating.
