Having had some good success with using quinoa yesterday to thicken a soup I used it today in a Quinoa and Chicken Casserole. The recipe is a very simple slow cooker one that I have used for years. The main difference is that I used quinoa to thicken the sauce rather than flour, milk and egg.
This is very useful if you have an intolerance to wheat or dairy products.
