The story

Quinoa was the sacred grain of the Andes: the Incas called it 'chisiya mama' — mother of all grains — and legend says the Inca himself opened the sowing season with golden tools. The Spanish conquerors pushed it aside in favour of wheat; only centuries later was it rediscovered as one of the most nutritious foods on earth — in 2013 the United Nations even declared the International Year of Quinoa. Our risotto joins Italian technique with royal Andean quinoa, ají amarillo and rocoto: highlands meet Mediterranean.
