Peruvian inspired Kaniwa, quinoa, and amarath pilaf

Today I am going to make a Peruvian inspired kaniwa quinoa and amaranth pilaf. I am using three different grains in this pilaf but they are all interchangeable. I am also using an aji amarillo which is a sweet and spicy chili pepper used in Peruvian cooking. This recipe is gluten free, high in nutrition like iron and protein and easy to make.
