Oh my, does this red rice and quinoa salad look good.  It’s from Ottolenghi: The Cookbook via 101 Cookbooks.For more quinoa action, check out this warm, cinnamon-scented breakfast bowl. It’s official: I’m in love with quinoa.  I’m on a very temporary mostly-raw diet, so I sprouted* quinoa, instead of cooking it, and I’m sprinkling it on green salads.  I’ll be using it in a tabbouleh-inspired recipe for tonight’s dinner.  I love the nutty flavor, and it packs a crazy protein and nutrient-rich punch. When I start cooking again, I will definitely try this recipe.* To sprout quinoa: put the quinoa in a colander with very small holes.  Rinse under high-pressure cold water for a couple minutes.  Transfer to a bowl and fill with enough water to cover the quinoa by 1 inch.  Cover with a cloth and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours.  Drain, rinse, and soak again for another 6 hours or so, until the quinoa sprout little tails.  Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days or so.— Nora
