- stir the quinoa in the oil and leeks for 2-3 minutes before adding the broth
- definitely use low-sodium chicken broth---quinoa absorbs salt very well and I found that the regular chicken broth was too salty. If you are using homemade stock or veggie broth, you are probably fine.
- I will add the snap peas last next time (with the artichoke hearts). I like my peas to retain their "snap."
On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down the people go, Gazing in the oven low, Round a kitchen island there below, The kitchen of Shallot.
