I love quinoa and I've been wanting to try making it different ways, just wondering if anyone has any really good suggestions for what to put in it or use it with?
thanks

I just cook it in chicken stock (instead of plain water) and then serve it as an alternative to rice with stews and chili.0

You can use quinoa in any dish that you would use rice. You can also have it for breakfast warmed up with milk and cinnamon (or you could add fruit too). It is very versatile and very delicious too! I like to make it when we are having grilled chicken and stir fried veggies. Be creative add to it whatever you like! Enjoy!0

Plus if I post "bump" or anything at all, it gets placed in My Topics and I can find it even more easily later on.0 -

Really? I will get some and try this out! I have heard it is the best grain you can eat!0 -
I make a turkey & quinoa meatloaf that we really like. I'll also make a serving and mix it with a serving of veggies for a meal for myself when dh works a late shift, often add salsa or some spaghettin sauce to spice it up a bit. It's one of my new favorite foods0

Quinoa is SOOO good.
I use it in lettuce wraps, in place of rice, and as breakfast for my daughters the other day- mixing quinoa, coconut milk, a handful of walnuts and some shredded coconut on top. They LOVED it!0 -
I've made quinoa myself with pesto which is delis. The cafeteria at my work has this awesome quinoa salad in their salad bar, its cold quinoa with flakes of hard parm cheese, onion, green peppers, and probably oil or other spices, but its pretty good. Unfortunately I don't really know the nutritional facts about it but you can def try to make some time of cold salad like that.0

OH My...I think I will have to try that! I know nothing about quinoa but it sounds delish.0 -
Where do you buy it? I saw one little box in Publix for $6.00. I thought that was too much for such a small amount.0

I like to soak it overnight in pure orange juice, It is a great start to the day for breakfast.0

I usually make mine with chicken broth (no sodium) and lots of lemon juice. I've also made a quinoa salad with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and home made italian dressing. I'm loving all the recipes here though!0

I stole Alton Brown's recipe, it is as follows:
3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.0
