I have been making a chicken veggie pilaf here lately that is super yummy
1/2 cup of dry quinoa
1 cup of reduced sodium reduced fat chicken stock
1 cup of frozen mixed veggies (the 1 I use has green beans, carrots, corn, and peas in it)
chicken breast
Add the quinoa, chicken stock, and frozen veggies in a saucepan. I also add galic and pepper to this. Bring to boil, cover and simmer about 10-15 minutes or unitl quinoa is cooked. Add chicken breast if you like to make a more rounded meal or just eat just the pilaf. Super easy and very filling. I am actually having it for lunch today but with no chicken just the pilaf.
MMmmmmmm, Sounds yummy0 -

OK you may want your quinoa a bit al dente like pasta. And so you should not mix it up with other stuff and cook longer than you should. It would become mush. Al dente is a lot tastier. So eat quinoa with your main dish such as chicken etc.
Basically for one serving, use 1/4 cup quinoa with 3/4 cup broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover for 15 minutes, cut the heat and let sit for another 5. You get yourself the most delicious quinoa.0 -
Bump for later.
Great inquiry. I've been looking for ideas.0 -

Into the rice cooker put:
1 cup Quinoa
2 cups water or chicken broth
2 TBSP reduced sodium soy sauce
1 TBSP powdered ginger
2 heaping tablespoons roasted garlic
a few 'shakes" of red chili flakes
Cover, turn it on and wait until it's done like you would race. (20-25 minutes or so) Top with a little sesame seed or chopped green onion if you want.0 -

I'm another one who cooks up a batch and puts it in the fridge. I use it in place of any kind of rice and most pasta dishes. It's a good filler food. I even took a pasta salad recipe and substituted the pasta with quinoa.0

I enjoy mine straight up. just boil it until the seeds open up and there ya go. Taste great without anything added.0

I'm eating a Quinoa salad as I am typing!
1/4 cup Qunioa
1/2 cup Water
Bring Water to a boil, add Quinoa. Lower heat and cook until water is absorbed(About 6 minutes)
In a bowl combine your favourite veggies.
I like to keep a Broccoli slaw on hand and I toss in Tomatoes, Snap peas, cucumber and Onion.
Dressing: Mix together lemon juice, some garlic, oregano and a little bit of olive oil(1/2 a teaspoon) and stir together.
In a bowl mix Quinoa, Veggies and stir in dressing. Voila! Delicious!
You'll be prepped, cooked and eating in less than 10 minutes!0 -

I make what I call a Greek Quinoa. I cook it as normal, although I do use broth instead of water to help flavor. Then chop roasted red peppers, olives, Mediterranean seasoning, and a bit of Feta toss it all together and its a yummy side warm, or a lovely lunch cold.0

I've made it for breakfast...cooked it up with blueberries, walnuts and almond milk.0
