    There's a TV programme in the UK called Masterchef, and I remember one contestant making a dessert which she served with toasted quinoa and the judges all went mad for it - can't remember exactly what is was she did - any Brits here remember?

    I want to like this stuff, so I'll def give some of these a try.

    One thing I'm wondering about, is does it really need to be rinsed? I don't have a mesh strainer. How important is it that it is rinsed. Maybe that's why I'm not a fan so far, I have not rinsed before cooking it.

    yes.. I noticed the water was very dirty... so I rinsed it and it tasted much better. I don't have a mesh strainer, the quinoa stays at the bottom of the pan, when you pour the water out. but it would make it easier I guess.

    EVOO, basil, feta cheese. Saute your cooked quinoa in the EVOO, add the basil. I wait til it's just about done before I add the feta.

    The best quinoa dish I've ever had, was for breakfast at the African restaurant Boma at Disney.

    Obviously this recipe needs to be scaled down, and you can use light butter or splenda brown sugar



    Yield: 20 servings

    Ingredients:

    ½ quart Water
    1/3 pound Dried Quinoa
    1/3 pound Butter
    1/3 pound Brown Sugar


    Method:

    Heat water, add butter, sugar and dry quinoa. Cook until quinoa is tender. Serve hot.

    Quinoa really is gross in my opinion but I like it with peanut butter or peanut flour... Or a lot of spaghetti sauce.
