Quinoa recipes

Try using it in place of rice in almost any recipe. Also, pilaf type recipes work really well with quinoa.

I've just made a huge pan of veg chilli with sweet potato, aubegine, cauli, cabbage, tomatoes, chilli, herbs and spices and basically left overs from my veg drawer. I am going to serve it tonight with a mix of quinoa and bulgur wheat. Also use quinoa for feta salads x

I made this one last night - very yummy:

Quinoa and Black Bean Salad with Citrus-Coriander Dressing
Serves 4-6
1 cup uncooked quinoa (any color), rinsed and drained
2 cups water
2 large oranges
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 1/2 cups (or 1 can) cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Place quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.

Prepare oranges while quinoa is cooling. Finely grate the zest of one orange and set aside. Supreme both oranges, reserving the juice (squeeze the orange membranes after segmenting), and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest, 3 tablespoons of orange juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, coriander seeds, salt, a few cracks of pepper, and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasonings if desired.

Place quinoa, black beans, onion, and orange segments in a large bowl and stir gently to combine. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
