Use chicken stock instead of water to cook it in. Add black beans, corn, chopped veggies (peppers, onions, etc) and toss with your fav italian dressing. Makes a really good cold salad.
Or use it like hot cereal, add banana, flax seed, berries, milk if you want.0 -
I love quinoa. If it says to rinse it well, make sure you do.
One of my favorite recipes is here:

Also Cooking Light or Shape - can't remember which one - had some additional recipes a month or so ago.0 -
No, it's not a wonder food. But it is a healthy food. Season it just as you would rice. It also makes a good salad - just mix with chopped vegetables of your choice and dress with vinaigrette. And it's a good alternative to bulgar wheat when making tabouleh. Or substitute it for rice in most recipes.0
