Gluten-free tuna and quinoa tabouli

  • 2 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1
    Rinse quinoa well in cold water, then drain. Place in a saucepan with water, lightly salted. Bring to the boil on high.
  • 2
    Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 15 minutes, until tender and water is absorbed.

Notes

While quinoa looks like a grain, it is a seed. As well as being gluten-free, it is rich in protein, has a low GI and makes a tasty substitute for burghul.
