as I am typing this I am eating quinoa w/ taco seasoning, corn and black beans w/ my tilapia. also last week I made it for breakfast for the first time. I cooked it w/ almond milk and then added a little cinnamon, vanilla, tablespoon of almond butter and a little more almond milk put it in the fridge and grabbed and go in the morning. I ate it cold, it was actually really good.

First this:

Quinoa Tabouli

Tabouli, a mid-eastern salad normally made with bulgur wheat, makes light, refreshing, warm weather fare. Try it with quinoa for a delightful new taste.

1 cup quinoa (if not pre-washed, you must wash it)
1 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olives, sliced
lettuce leaves, whole

Simmer quinoa in an equal volume of water for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Place all ingredients except lettuce and olives in a mixing bowl and toss together lightly. Chill for an hour or more to allow flavours to blend.

Wash and dry lettuce leaves and use them to line a salad bowl. Add tabouli and garnish with olives.

Serves 4.

Then this:

Curry quinoa, lentils, and rice

2/3 cup red or ivory quinoa
2/3 cup black or brown rice
1/3 cup lentils (any type that is whole with skin)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut (optional)
1 tbsp curry powder, or any set of fragrant spices (cumin, coriander,turmeric, cayenne, etc)
1 bay leaf
1 to 3 dried chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cups water

Pick over the lentils to avoid stones. I buy pre-washed organic quinoa, but otherwise it will need to be washed according to the directions on the package. If you do pre-wash everything, reduce the water by 1/2 cup. Put everything in a rice cooker, and let it cook on regular.

If using the stove top, put everything into a small heavy bottom and bring to a boil with the lid on, then turn it down to a low simmer and cook covered for 35-40mins.

Remove bay leaf and chili, and fluff with a fork before serving.

You can use vegetable or chicken stock if you like, just watch the salt. This goes great with almost anything, or just by itself with diced tomatoes and/or avocado.

Quinoa and Black Bean Salad

2 cups quinoa (recommend no-rinse variety)
1 ¾ cups water
1 red bell pepper, diced small
¼ cup thinly sliced spring red onion or scallions
5 radishes, sliced paper thin using a mandoline
1½ cups fresh corn (from about 2 ears)
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes (optional but great!)

Combine the quinoa and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 12 to15 minutes, until you see the little white spiral “tail” appear on each kernel. The quinoa should be just tender, but still with a little crunch. Drain off any excess liquid. Cool.

Blanch the corn kernels in boiling water for one minute. Drain.

Combine the quinoa with all ingredients. Adjust salt and lime juice to taste, and serve. Can be served chilled or at room temperature.

The quinoa black bean salad sounds yummy

I tried this soup tonight (I was going to post earlier, but hadn't tasted the finished product so thought I should wait). In anycase...it was SO good. I altered the recipe a bit...added half a diced onion, upped the cumin, and left out the hard boiled egg, but I was impressed to say the least. Oh...I used chicken stock instead of water too.
