Quinoa is an excellent substitution for rice in this Peruvian version of “paella” as it is light, tasty and the grains do not stick together. The quinoa lends a pleasant crunch, contrasting to the rich meatiness of the calamari. The addition of chili, paprika and orange contrasts perfectly with the delicate, slightly nutty flavor of quinoa.
