About Quinotto

Quinotto is a nutritious twist on traditional risotto, replacing rice with protein-packed quinoa, a staple grain from South America. This dish is rooted in Latin American cuisine but incorporates techniques from Italian cooking, blending hearty textures with creamy flavors. Typical ingredients include quinoa, vegetable or chicken broth, onions, garlic, and a variety of fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese, making it versatile and customizable. Rich in fiber, essential amino acids, and vitamins, quinoa is renowned for its high-quality plant-based protein and its ability to balance blood sugar levels. Quinotto often includes healthy fats from olive oil and antioxidants from vegetables, contributing to heart health and overall wellness. However, its nutrient profile can vary depending on added ingredients like butter, cream, or excessive cheese, which may increase saturated fat and calorie content. Whether prepared light or indulgent, Quinotto offers a satisfying and nutrient-dense meal to elevate everyday dining.
