"Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a protein packed ancient seed from South America, similar to the texture of brown rice when cooked with a nutty flavor.

Cook on high heat, stirring occasionally. Try to be gentle when you stir so you keep some chunks of rhubarb; the pieces are very tender and fall apart very easily.
