South American Comida

Get south-of-the-border taste with these dishes featuring the ancient grain

6 to 8 servings

The spicy Mexican sausage chorizo can be found in most grocery stores and ethnic markets. The ancient grain quinoa is in many grocery stores, especially if they have a “green” or organic section. Health food stores also carry it.

Briefly rinsing quinoa removes saponin, a naturally occurring coating on quinoa that can impart a bitter flavor.

Be sure to use a large (12-inch) skillet.

INGREDIENTS

6 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken stock, divided
2 cups of uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil continued here
