Do you remember the unsweetened banana cake What were we preparing recently? It was a recipe for Juan Llorca how are these chicken strips with quinoa batter. A recipe that has caught our attention for something, it is because it proposes a new way of using quinoa in our recipes.
Quinoa batter is a good alternative to traditional batter. Substitute refined flour for quinoa and provide a touch very crunchy to the chicken or to that preparation in which you decide to use it, once it is baked. Do you dare to try it?
