The best I eat quinoa is to make quinoa burgers /patties. That way its mixed with a whole bunch of ingredients and after pan frying/baking, its less noticeable
Recepie for the patties???0 -

I would pan fry each side 7-10 minutes rather than baking0 -
My husband thinks Quinoa is just another form of Couscous which he hates. It does have a similar texture, though you cook Quinoa about the same as rice, not like Couscous that swells up all on it's own.
It's a relative of the native goosefoot, which I stumbled upon when I was identifying the weeds around our property. Don't try eating wild goosefoot, however, unless you wash, wash, wash off the bitter soapy layer. Commercial Quinoa is washed for you these days.
I think it's fun, but I eat it on my own. I season it as I would Couscous. Red Quinoa is interesting.0 -
All these options sound good I'm not trying to replace anything just trying something new I also love the taste of rice! Any you guys like bulgur?? I like that as well but never looked up the macros. I like couscous too.0

I also like bulgur and couscous as well. To me there is a distinct yet mild flavor. It is nutty, but there is something else to it, and I absolutely love it. Tabbouleh is my favorite way to eat it. So easy, filling and tasty; you can mix it up easily. I've also enjoyed it in stuffed peppers, burritos, with various Indian recipes, granola/baked goods, and now I would like to try it in more dishes.0

I scarf it down in stuffed peppers. I make the quinoa and then add ground venison (cooked), goat cheese crumbles, cooked onions, red wine vinegar, and a little bit of oil. It's amazingly good.
I look for recipes that are new where quinoa isn't used as a replacement for rice but as it's own ingredient.
We could be food twins!! I eat venison ( no beef though) and love quinoa stuffed peppers!! I also don't use it as a substitute but as its own ingredient.0 -

One of my absolutely favorite ways to eat quinoa

A substitute that I use for rice is, it is a cereal food that is from green wheat that has been dried, roasted and then "trashed" or "rubbed" to make the flavour, texture, and colour uniform. The result is an earthy, smoky, grain that has a distinct flavour. Freekeh is a great alternative to rice and other grains.
Love using it as a side!0 -
I think another whole grain often overlooked is buckwheat. It also has its own distinctive "nutty" flavour.0

I usually make a quinoa veggie salad. Bake up a batch and I have it for lunch. I throw in any veggies I have. Usually peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, spinach. I used to throw feta cheese in it, but not anymore.0
