Had anyone got any recipe ideas for me using quinoa ? I've just been cooking it with garlic, onion and chicken stock, I'm really keen to try something new!

I like making Mexican chicken with mine, 1-2 tins of chopped tomatoes, paprika, coriander (ground and fresh), cumin, oregano, 1 onion, 4 garlic cloves, 1-2 bell peppers, chili powder and fresh chili, cayenne pepper, chicken stock cube, 3 chicken breasts and 2 cups of quinoa. basically 1-2 teaspoons of the herbs and spices fry everything, add the chopped tomatoes then quinoa and cook till its soft. You may need to add some water through out the cooking process (or red wine!). Serve with a spoonful of reduced fat natural yogurt or a sprinkle of cheese

Or I do few skinless fillets of smoked haddock or smoked cod (this works with most white smoked and unsmoked fish), 1 onion, 1 lemon, 1-2 cups of broccoli or a cup of peas, fresh parsley, 1 glass of white wine, 1 fish stock cube, 2-3 bay leaves, black pepper to taste and about 2-3 cups of quinoa, 1 cup of water. Again fry everything apart from the fish and lemon then add the liquid, fish, quinoa and the lemon in wedges and cook till soft. Serve with again a spoonful of reduced fat yogurt and a bit of fresh parsley.

These are not one meal measurements as when I cook I always make some for meals later in the week and my greedy boyfriend. Also nothing is exact, just use your judgment with what you like for amounts.

Google "Allie Vincent's Quinoa Salad." Quinoa, black beans, mangoes, onion, and a killer dressing! Enjoy.

This quinoa stuffed pepper recipe is vegan but you could easily chop up sausage or chicken & add it to the mix.

I LOVE quinoa with a bunch of coconut oil, chipotle powder and freshly wilted spinach & salt. SO GOOD.

My daughter, Hunter, came up with this recipe and it is so good:

QUINOA VEGGIE PLATE

Ingredients
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1 cup water
1 tsp chix bouillion
1 cup frozen green beans
1 cup frozen cut carrots
1 cup frozen peppers and onions

*Sauce:
1/3 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup diced tomato with juice
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp dried minced onion
Dash of garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to taste

Sprinkling of Adobo Seasoning
Parmesan to taste

Directions
Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add chix flavored bullion, if desired. After boiling, stir in rinsed quinoa, lower heat to medium low, cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until quinoa is semi-translucent.

While quinoa is cooking, steam green beans, carrots, peppers and onions for 8 minutes.

For sauce, combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, dried minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper and heat on stove for 5 to 10 minutes.*

To plate, divide quinoa onto two plates, top each with half of the veggies and sprinkle on Adobo seasoning. Divide the tomato sauce and pour over each plate and top each one with parmesan.

*To speed this up, you can substitute your favorite pasta sauce for the sauce recipe.

While cooking my quinoa in chicken broth, i saute some vegetables that will be mix into the quinoa later. You can chose whatever you like but I always do zucchini, onion and bell peppers. After the quinoa is done cooking and the veggies are sauteed i mix it all together with fat free low calorie italian dressing.

I made this today. It's one of my standby recipes to take for lunch during the week. http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/black-bean-and-quinoa-enchilada-bake/

I just take my portion and heat it up in my crockpot warmer https://www.amazon.ca/Crock-Pot-Lunch-Crock-Warmer-Black/dp/B00942VHOS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477253653&sr=8-1&keywords=crockpot+warmer

Cold quinoa salad. Cook quinoa with water as usual, put in fridge to cool. Cut up zucchini, crook neck squash, cucumber, peppers. Make a Dijon vinegarette add sage, rosemary, basil, pepper, salt to it. Combine quinoa, veggies and vinegarette. It keeps for a few days. I eat this on top of greens and some times add a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese. I will also add a few pepitas or slivered almonds too.

Cook quinoa with chicken broth and sautéed onions and garlic, when done add a can of drained black beans, can or frozen corn and a can of rotel tomatoes! Makes a Mexican side dish full of good stuff, I serve with chicken or steak. My favorite quinoa recipe so far and simple!
