Quinoa Risotto with Fennel
(1)
30 minutes
Quinoa is usually boiled in water but here it is cooked as risotto rice when you keep on adding stock little by little until it is absorbed. We love the addition of preserved lemons for a slight tangy kick. This tasty vegetarian dish can easily be altered to suit vegans.

I didn't add fennel to mine, but thought this was a really neat idea for cooking quinoa like a risotto. I shall henceforth call it quinotto and add it to my cooking repertoire! - 20 Dec 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
