Last week at my local Farmer's Market, I picked up some greens I've never cooked with before, quinoa and amaranth. The farmer I purchased them from informed me that they would be great added to salads and also could be cooked up like any other green. I washed them up, broke off their stems at the intersection with the leaf and tossed them in a pan. Evaluation: delicious!!
