Hard to believe that the sagebrush, known as tumbleweed from all those old cowboy movies, is a relative of the now highly-regarded quinoa plant, found in the high Andes mountains for thousands of years. These chewy seeds are called one of the “superfoods”, a gluten-free marvel with lots of protein, fiber and calcium. But the fluffy texture and depth of taste will make anyone forget it’s good for them, and this savory combination of flavors, highlighted by fresh herbs, raisins and almost sweet chard, is a great way to serve a healthy meal. Soaking the raisins before hitting the sauté pan will bring out even more flavor.
