Kathie Lee & Hoda: Angelo Sosa One-Pot Quinoa Risotto Recipe

Today Show: Angelo Sosa

Today’s Kitchen has been featuring simple one-pot meals, so Kathie Lee and Hoda welcomed chef Angelo Sosa to show them how to prepare a One-Pot Quinoa Risotto recipe. Sosa’s cookbook collection includes the titles Healthy Latin Eating: Our Favorite Family Recipes Remixed and Flavor Exposed: 100 Global Recipes from Sweet to Salty, Earthy to Spicy.

There’s no denying that Quinoa is a hot ingredient for healthy recipes. Sosa shared this version of Risotto, which uses quinoa in place of rice. Kathie Lee and Hoda were struck by the fragrance of the dish as they were stirring it up. You could always substitute frozen corn if fresh ears aren’t in season when you’re making this. Plus, Sosa recommended mixing it up by adding whatever other vegetables you are inspired to include. What do you think you’d want to incorporate into this recipe?
