Dear Rov Shlit’a. I have a problem since I follow the Minhag not to eat quinoa during Pesach (as being Kitniyos). I’m invited to a friend and the host serves it and puts it in the same large and elongated serving tray with the meat, and I’m afraid that the meat sauce could at some point come in contact with the quinoa, should I avoid that main part of the meal?

Some Poskim permit the eating of quinoa, based on Igrois Moshe’s (O.H. 3: 63) ruling that grains that were not available at the time when the Kitniyos decree was accepted by Ashkenazim, were not included. However, many abstain and so is the ruling of Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a.
