Quinoa has been gaining popularity over the last few years. It is rich in vitamin B, folate and minerals. I like its nutty taste, and interchange quinoa and rice in my recipes. Remember to rinse quinoa with cold water before cooking, to remove the bitter-tasting coating.

For a gluten-free pescetarian friendly meal, I made some quinoa with green chard, and topped it with some smoked salmon.
