Quinoa - ideas for??

I just had some in Turkey Meatloaf! Yummy!

I cook it according to directions and then add NutriYeast and Bragg's (which is kind of like soy sauce but organic, natural and better for you) Or try this recipe


3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 small red chile, chopped (optional)
2 cups snow peas, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces grilled chicken breast, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro
1 tablespoon soy sauce



Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until quinoa absorbs water, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and leave uncovered. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring occasionally, until it softens, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper, ginger, garlic and chile, if desired; cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add peas, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Remove vegetables and return skillet to heat; add quinoa, along with egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until egg is evenly distributed, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables, chicken, scallions, cilantro and soy sauce; cook 1 minute more. Divide stir-fry among 4 bowls; serve warm.

I'm making it for dinner tonight- http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-with-Chickpeas-and-Tomatoes/Detail.aspx I haven't tried it before.

I am in love with this one-http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-Black-Beans/Detail.aspx I substitute one can of the beans with diced tomatoes and add greek yogurt and shredded cheese on top

Thanks for suggesting this recipe. I actually have all the ingredients to make tonight for dinner!

This is my favorite quinoa dish and it's so good with some quacamole!

I use it in my stuffed peppers. I eat it for breakfast with splenda and milk, I use it anywhere I'd use rice, it's great with stirfry.
