Roasted Vegetable Quinoa

Quinoa is actually a seed, not a grain (the brachah is ha’adamah) and it’s packed with protein and amino acids. Unlike rice, quinoa tastes bitter and bland when eaten on its own. To remove the bitterness, you can soak the quinoa in water for a few minutes before cooking. Drain and cook in fresh water. Try a recipe like this one and you won’t find quinoa to be bland!

It was Devine. My family doesn't like the taste of balsamic vinegar so I omitted it and added an extra cube of crushed garlic. Thanks for the great recipe
