Quinoa Monk Bowl
This recipe from Trent Hamm at The Simple Dollar sounds tasty and worth a try. I do have to point out that quinoa is not a grain (grains (aka cereals) are the seeds of grasses: wheat, rye, oats, rice, corn, barley—seeds of other plants (e.g., chia, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, and the like) are as much “grains” as beans would be: i.e., they’re not. They’re seeds.
And what’s a palm? Is it a tree? No it’s a palm.

Also worth noting that quinoa needs to be thoroughly washed before using (to remove a bitter resin). The recipe you linked to skips that step.

That’s an artifact of the particular brand he uses:
But you’re absolutely right: quinoa commonly requires a good rinse with swishing to remove the bitter saponin.
