Author Notes

I've been making this recipe for a few years, using couscous instead of quinoa. But I recently attended a potluck where a few of the guests were gluten- and dairy-intolerant. I thought I'd try it with quinoa and it was a big hit. I recommend it as a vegetarian main dish, or a side for any grilled meat. —allie.carr
