  • Can you buy pomegranate seeds at Xmas time? Can you buy them in a tin too (weird question, sorry about that).

  • Although I wouldn’t use this recipe myself (I’m vegetarian, lol), it’s always nice to see quinoa more widely used. I was introduced with quinoa for the first time when I traveled in South America 25 years ago and I’ve used it ever since. It’s a beautiful addition to a vegetarian diet as it’s protein rich :) .

    • It is. Absolutely. If you are a vegetarian, you could just keep the tuna out and maybe add something else you enjoy better. :-)

  • I’m sure it will be nice with cranberries too, but I prepared it indeed with pomegranates. Sorry for the misunderstanding! :-)

  • Will try cranberries in this, a mistake must had been made as could not see where they go, might do them instead of the others.

  • I just wrote to the administration. I hope they will be able to fix the problem.

  • Ha! Ha! You are right! Why did I call it cranberry quinoa and not pomegranate quinoa? Thanks for noticing that. I will write the administration to see if they can change the title. Thank you!!!

    • LoL! Little ‘blips’ happen and I could see from the pic that it was pomegranates and not cranberries. Just noted it down and as I love pomegranates I am happy! :)
