Cook quinoa as usual, drain excess water, add in eggs/egg whites. Cook until quinoa kernels are coated in *cooked* eggs. Add salsa. Mmmmmm

I cook the quinoa in chicken broth and then stir in corn kernels at the end. The flavors and textures go really well together.

I have some in the cupboard and didn't know what to do either... so I just made a quinoa meatloaf last week and it was delicious! Look for it on allrecipes.com.

I really like Quinoa and try different things all the time. My latest creation was a Thai inspired dish. So my cooking liquid was chicken broth with some Thai curry paste in it. I also added some fresh ginger. Once the liquid comes to a boil I added a bunch of frozen veggies, spring onions and a small amount of coconut milk. (try not to let the coconut milk boil because it can curdle). reduce heat and let it cook. I eat this alone or sometimes I saute some veggies, fish or shrimp to have with it. YUM!

I recently made garlic parm quinoa with mushrooms. It was deeeelish.

I cooked the quinoa & the mushrooms separately. I made mushrooms in foil on my George with olive oil and pepper. When the quinoa was done, I mixed in some garlic powder [fresh would be great, too] and grated some Parmigiano-Reggiano. Then I mixed in the mushrooms. mmmmm

I just bought quinoa this week for the first time! I have been researching recipes and am excited to try them out. This will be my first recipe and I think it looks really yummy!

Coconut-Cashew Red Quinoa
1/2 cup coconut milk, unsweetened
2 shallots, sliced
1 small red onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups red quinoa, uncooked
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup frozen or fresh pineapple chunks, unsweetened and chopped
1/4 cup salted cashews, chopped

Heat coconut milk in a large saucepan. Add shallots and red onion and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add water; bring to a boil. Add quinoa, sugar, salt and pepper; cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Add pineapple and cashews and cook for additional 3-4 minutes, or until most liquid is absorbed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot.

Serves 6 at 3/4 cup each.
