Ohters have said good things in this thread. I'd just like to add that I
find it tastes a little sweet - I am sure it would go great with nuts (pilav
style), or mushrooms and feta cheese.

I ususally eat it "like"rice or bulgur. I often serve it with a veggie stew.

It's eay to cook and very good for you. Apparently, it's the only plant food
that contains all 20 amino acids, making it very suitable for peope who
don't eat animal proteins.
