Quinoa recipes??

Scramble a few eggs/egg whites, when it's still liquid but almost cooked add the cooked quinoa and keep cooking until all the liquid is absorbed and the eggs are coating each kernel or quinoa. Add some salsa.

I saved this from Foodnetwork.com but haven't made it yet. It sounded good to me. Hope you can try it out.


Ingredients
2 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups quinoa
Dressing:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, add the chicken stock, lemon juice and quinoa. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.

For the dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, basil, parsley, thyme, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Pour the dressing over the quinoa and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Transfer the quinoa to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

I love it with salmon...it's also good in stir fry with peppers and chicken yummmmm

My best experience involved a bowl of warm quinoa covered with almond milk, banana, cinnamon, dates, strawberries, blueberries, raisins, and maple syrup.

if you use the search feature you will get several very good older posts on these--just type quinoa recipe

I make this recipe every 2 or 3 days and I have my whole family hooked on it (and they do not like to eat healthy one bit)

Get a container of the already cut up onion and peppers cut up ( you can find it in the produce section of the market)
2 cups of quinoa
2 cups of chicken broth or stock and 2 cups of water.
two handfuls of baby spinach
a pack of pre cut mushrooms ( i loke the mixed ones)
1 table spoon of olive oil

Saute your onions and peppers in the oil and when they turn color add your salt and pepper
throw in your quino, saute to brown a little then add your liquid
let boil and cover to simmer for 15 minutes
half way through throw in your mushrooms and stir and keep it covered till done (i always cook my quinoa 20 minutes from start to finish)
when your quinoa is cooked, add your baby spinach to the bottom of your serving dish and then add the quinoa on top and just toss. the spinach will wilt from the steam. Enjoy!!!

Ok I tried another recipe last night ... goes a little like this

Saute 1 med onion for 2 minutes in oil
Add 1 cup of quinoa - until toasted - keep stirring - 5 minutes
Add 2 cups of Chicken Broth and 1 tsp of Curry Power
(I added chick peas)
Cover at low simmer heat for 25 minutes

Curried quinoa ! So AMAZING! had it last night for dinner

Quinoa cooked with the v8 butternut squash soup or tomato sauce mixed with water. Recently I did this and added onions, garlic, chick peas. Mixed that together and topped the quinoa with arugula, parmesan, cucumber and dice tomato. Topped with a little pamesan and balsamic reduction

1 cup cooked quinoa
1 can tuna
tzaziki sauce (greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon, salt and pepper)
sun dried toms
artichokes
crumbled feta
It's a great tuna salad for hot weather!
