Introduction

grain + beans = complementary protein. This wasn't particularly tasty--needs playing with. Next time I will toast the quinoa before cooking. Substituting veggie broth for the water could be good. grain + beans = complementary protein. This wasn't particularly tasty--needs playing with. Next time I will toast the quinoa before cooking.
