RECIPE BACKSTORY

Note: When done in a crock pot, if a crust develops around the edges, just dispose of that part.
Quinoa is a grain which is a good source of iron, protein, and other nutrients.
Be sure to rinse it well, using a small screen strainer, since some of the bitter coating may not have been removed during processing.
