Naturally Gluten Free Tropical Prawn Quinoa

Back to all recipes.
Quinoa is a naturally gluten free grain and is lovely with all kinds of things. Be sure to check your quinoa as in some supermarkets it has a may contain warning, my last lot was from Tesco which doesn't have a may contain and also check some health food shops too. I love quinoa with all sorts, it is a kind of cross between cous cous and rice is is incredible versatile, in this recipe, with fresh coriander, the tang of passion fruit and a hint of coconut it is a light lunch winner!
