I use quinoa for egg fried rice.
I also like smashing quinoa flakes in the food processor and using the crumbs for battering oven fried buttermilk chicken.0 -

I replace the rice in Spanish rice with quinoa. Works good in stuffed peppers too.0

cold quinoa is great as "cereal".
i eat it in the morning with fresh blueberries and/or bananas with almond or coconut milk.0 -
For 1/2 cup quinoa I take a 28 oz can of organic diced tomatoes, drain the liquid and use 1 cup of that for my cooking liquid. (Liquid content varies per can, if it's short add a bit of water, it won't be much). While the quinoa is cooking I saute an onion and a few mini bell peppers in cooking spray, add them and the can of tomatoes at the end of cooking and heat thru another few minutes. Toss in some chopped basil, and have some instant awesome. Garlic and other seasoning may be adding to the quinoa while it's cooking, depending on your taste.0

I mix it with taco seasoned ground beef, salsa, frozen corn and stuff peppers with it. So yummy!
Almost what I'm having tonight, sans peppers0 -
1/2 C quinoa
1 C chicken broth
1 C of tri veg seasoning (celery, onion and peppers)
1 C of white mushrooms sliced
1 TBS chopped garlic
1/2 tsp Morton's Nature Seasoning
1/4 tsp thyme leaves
1/4 C pine nuts
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS butter
Rinse and toast the quinoa for a bit in a skillet and then add chicken broth, cook until tender. Saute vegs and pine nuts in olive oil until done. Add seasonings and blend. Combine quinoa and sauted vegs together and add butter. I let this rest for 30 mins to blend flavors then reheated.
This was my first experience with quinoa and I wanted to eat the whole dish myself. Not sure if I would like it cold or sweet but I sure will be making this again and might add some chicken to it.0 -

Southwest Quinoa Salad - black beans, corn, cilantro, lime, quinoa, tomato etc....
Here's a recipe, but I pretty just make it as I feel like it. Don't forget the cumin!

Also... I have been gluten-free for 5+ years and missed my mom's kibbeh (we're Lebanese), so my mom and I developed a Quinoa Kibbeh recipe that has been a HUGE hit with my family (some people, including me, like it better than regular kibbeh made with bulgar):

thanks for posting this because i was having major issues with quinoa. i tried to make it the way a friend told me---in chicken broth with some italian seasoning---none of my family members liked it and neither did i...
Are you rinsing the quinoa really well before you use it? It can have a bitter or soapy taste if you don't rinse it before you cook it.
OP, here's my current favorite quinoa recipe.

You should keep in mind that quinoa is very nutrient and CALORIE dense. VERY. Over 600 calories in a standard cup and boy oh boy it is easy to eat!0
