Quinoa and spinach

Quinoa’s delicate flavor pairs well with spinach; it's a combination that we can't get enough of. Since it’s not an actual grain, quinoa makes for an excellent Passover side dish. In order to rinse it, which is a step you shouldn't skip, place the quinoa in a fine wire-mesh sieve. Place the sieve in your sink and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear; shake off excess liquid. This gets rid of quinoa's natural coating, called saponin, which can be bitter-tasting. To make this recipe pareve (foods that contain neither meat nor dairy), cook the quinoa in vegetable broth or water.
