Check out the website www.skinnytaste.com. They have a lot of super yummy recipes including a "fried rice" quinoa that is really good.

I like to use it as a stand in for rice with stuffed peppers.

If you like black beans and corn I found an awesome one! Here is the link! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/quinoa-and-black-beans/detail.aspx


It is soooooo good with a little salsa mixed in!

I just sneak it into my rice or oatmeal. I don't care for the taste much. Some say they can't taste it at all. If its the nutrition you are aiming for, and not the taste, just put 1/4 cup into a pot/pan of boiling rice. Or add a tablespoon into your oatmeal.

Kelly's Quinoa Meatballs

Serving: 3oz



Ingredients:

1 pound extra lean ground beef

1 pound extra lean ground turkey

1 cup red, yellow and green bell peppers, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

4 cups quinoa, cooked according to package directions.

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Salt and pepper to taste



Directions:

Mix all ingredients together very well. Roll mixture into balls (I use a 1/8 of a cup measure) and place on a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minute depending on the size of the ball.

Serve in spaghetti sauce with spaghetti noodles or meatball sandwiches, in brown gravy over rice, or in country gravy over toast or egg noodles. There are endless options. This makes a large batch of meatballs. I usually freeze ¾ of them in meal size freezer bags for use later.

I don't have any recipes but saw it at the store and was curious as to what it tastes like I want to try it. I've read good things about the nutrition.

by itself it tastes like nothing... maybe air. It is a good filler or thickener. Or spiced and served like couscous

2 cups broth (chicken, veggie, etc...your choice)
1 cup quinoa
Any veggies you like

I sauteed green onion, garlic and red pepper first
Then add the quinoa and brown (about 5 mins)
Add broth and bring to a boil
Reduce to simmer, cover and cook about 20 mins (just to where liquid is absorbed)
Add spices (I used thyme, rosemary and some salt), stir and serve!

Delicious!

I am thinking about trying to run it through my food processor and usnig it in place of some of the flour in some recipes - like bread, etc.

stefchica

did some stuffed peppers with it...i cooked about a cup of quinoa, black beans, made a spicy tomato sauce, a LITTLE bit of ground beef, and gouda cheese and stuffed them with that. it was OSOOOOO good. you can just add it into things you make. salads.....oatmeals......smoothies even....toast it and cook with eggs, spinach, onion and tomato....
