I was still trying to figure out what to do with it when I read this post. This looks perfect (I even have some Gruyere in the fridge).

I'm sure it's been thrown out by now ...<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll pick up some more and give this a go. Does the quinoa expand during cooking? (ie- for 4 cups cooked, do I cook 4 cups or less?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
