I woke up this morning with a craving for a big bowl of Quiona. What you say?? Why its the South American Supergrain! except its not a grain. Protein, iron, calcium... like eating a glass of milk. Cooks like rice but firm and just a little snappy (I don't usually toast it) with a bit of a nutty flavor. I'll often splash a little soy and chili sauce on it and eat it straight.
Find it in the commie-hippie-traitor section of your local supermarket!
I love this. Most of my friends don't even know the name. I usually cook it pilaf -- fry the grains in olive oil with onions and spices, and add water after 1-2 mins. I sometimes break an egg or two in the grains when they're cooked. (And maybe should you try millet too.)

Creedence, rather. My apologies.
