As I imagine many of you are doing, I was foraging through my pantry Tuesday and came across a jar of white quinoa. Coincidentally, Monday night I had just watched an episode of Alton Brown’s ‘Good Eats’ where he used quinoa in a recipe that looked tempting: I mean, how could anything made with onions, mushrooms, broccoli, cheese, half and half, and mayonnaise not be tasty! (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/quinoa-and-broccoli-casserole-7288418)
Made it yesterday. And, thankfully, it was, indeed, tasty. Good thing as it made enough for at least five meals for mom and I. I had just spent the last week clearing out some items from my freezer, it’s now full again.
Next up in my experiments with ingredients from the depths of my pantry: the black-eyed peas I saw when I was digging out the quinoa; I’ve never had those either.
