Spa Index Kitchen Notes

You can serve this dish over cooked quinoa, but we've shown it pureed, here.   You already know there are amazing health benefits from quinoa, but did you know it's a great substitute for grits and baby cereal food? Just make a batch of your favorite quinoa, transfer it to a high speed blender, and add a bit of fat free milk, water, or veggie broth.  Puree it for a minute or two until velvety smooth.   You can freeze this pureed cereal too -- and thaw it when you need a whole grain base for a meal, baby food, to add to smoothies or to thicken dishes.
