How do you like your quinoa????

I like to be creative with it. Lately, I've used it for stuffed peppers, boiled it with broth or bullion for flavor, used it as filler in casserole, and done shrimp fried "rice" with it. All pretty good:)0

I make a lot of soups to help w/ my dieting. i no longer use any of the normal high calorie pastas in them. I use Quinoa along w/ barley in my beef soup, along w/ the regular stuff, carrots, celery, and I add either turnips or sweet potatos, and mushrooms. Really works great in my soups. I use it all the time now0

Tossed with a scrambled egg and leftover veggies...like a mock "fried" rice.0

I've found that any way you serve quinoa is delicious. Some of my favorites:
Quinoa burrito with light sour cream, taco sauce, shredded cheese, jalapeno peppers, lettuce, onion, tomato
Quinoa with 1 tbsp hummus, mixed peppers (raw or frozen), and mixed frozen vegetables
cumin pairs so well with it too!
ive had it with spaghetti sauce too=delicious!
quinoa, parsley, feta, chili seeds, chili powder, olive oil, vinegar0 -
I made a dish last night that was SOOO GOOOD! Sorry, I just kind of thew some stuff together but its pretty hard to mess it up. You can add spices as you like and change up the ingredients.
Here goes:
Brown some ground turkey (I used 1/2 lb) and throw in some bell pepper slices, cumin, and garlic powder. Add a can of crushed tomatoes with the juice, a cup or so of salsa, worcestershire sauce, and a splash of hot sauce if you like. Stir in cooked quinoa (slightly more quinoa that turkey) and 1/2 cup black beans. You can also add some corn if you like. It would complement well. Let simmer for awhile. It shouldn't be too runny.
EDIT to note that I just realized you said vegetarian. Sorry! I think it would still taste delish without the turkey.
Another idea:
I love mixing some spaghetti sauce in with cooked quinoa and eating it with popcorn shrimp. Noms.0 -

Cilantro and cumin are your friends... You can also throw in a can/fresh diced tomatoes or steamed spinach if you want at add even more flavors...
THIS THIS THIS!!! Just made it again yesterday and it is really yummy - even my kids eat it. My daughter is eating vegetarian for Lent, so I made her soft tacos with a scoop of this, a little cheese, salsa and sliced avocado. YUM!!0 -

I made a sort of red beans and rice but with quinoa, I just cooked the quinoa in some stock, then cooked up onions, garlic, kidney beans, some frozen veggies, and little bit of tomato paste in a pan, added cooked quinoa and about two tablespoons of cajun seasoning. It was the first time I ate quinoa and actually enjoyed it, lol.0

I made stuffed green peppers recently with quinoa instead of rice. Only because I didn't have any rice on hand and had enough quinoa. It was tasty!0

I use it in pretty much every salad and anytime I would normally use rice. It's so good with vegetable stir fry!0

I cook lean chicken breasts on Sunday for the week, so there are a lot of juices and seasonings in the baking pan once they are finished. From there, I pour that into the quinoa and cook it that way. Adds an interesting flavor.0

We also made stuffed quinoa and black bean peppers that were amazing - we added frank hot sauce
