It would be hard to overestimate the importance of quinoa in Ecuador. In ancient times this seed was considered sacred, holy and able to provide the ancient Incan warriors with super-human strength. To honour this, every year a festival marking the first harvest was held with a solid gold tool used to harvest the first crop. The invading Spanish Conquistadors, seeing the seed’s importance to the ancient Incans, then proclaimed its cultivation forbidden and punishable by death! Today however, quinoa has reclaimed its role as a main component of the Ecuadorian diet and the agricultural industry. A super food known the world over, this gluten free seed continues to grow in popularity and appear in many modern cuisines. This decadent and creamy “quinotto” replaces rice with quinoa.

Lovely, will make again thanks
My kids love this recipe! Has anyone tried freezing it?
Hi Madaboutdarkpurple,
It is 500 g liquid beef stock OR 1 tbsp beef stock paste with 500 g water.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Thermomix Head Office
Just checking its 500g Stock and 500g Water?
It is taking well over the 15 mins?
I've had to put on for another 15?
For me this recipe was an apocalypse! Fantastic! I used evaporated milk instead of cream and the result was lighter but VERY tasty. This is one of the few recipes I make very often and enjoy it even when the food is cold. It is added value of this recipe, because for example a risotto can't be eatten the next day, but the quinotto is just as perfect as the first day
Try it!
This was to die for!!!!
Of course it's going to be tasty with cheese and cream. Very rich, thanks for quick recipe!
This is one of my favourtie recipes.. I absolutely love it.
I made this and it was yummy! You could use less Parmesan if you wanted to though.
Fantastic recipe. Added chicken which was divine!
