Sometimes I also add 2 tablespoons aguaymanto, (goldenberry) or sauco (elderberry) marmalade and stir it into the warm quinoa. Dried apricots are one of my favorite ingredients in rice and quinoa puddings. And more than once I added a little white chocolate (or Nutella), because I love the creaminess when melted. The flavor is lovely too, to say the least.

This recipe is amazing! I have already cooked it and served it myself. I absolutely love it. I was so excited that I had came across this because I have a project in my Spanish II class. I had to pick a country and then pick any dish from that country, make it, and then serve it to my fellow classmates. I am so ecstatic to share this beautiful dish with friends!
Es una excelente opción para aquellos que siguen dietas vegetarianas o veganas, ya que es rica en proteínas vegetales, la quinoa se puede comer cruda.
