I need recipe for quinoa.

Substitute the cous cous for quinoa. It's soooooooooo good!

I make it like I would rice and use it as a side dish. I found I like it much more when I use chicken broth instead of water. You can also add some curry powder, toasted almond slivers, and golden raisins for a really good side.

hello!

It's lovely with roasted tomatoes, butternut squash and red peppers, especially cold in a salad with lime juice, olive oil etc. oh and pumkin seeds if you like.

You probably already know this being veggie (I am too) but its a brilliant source of protein as it is a complete protein. Even got my meat eating boyfriend to love it before a good swim!

Enjoy!

Cold Quinoa Salad- Its a pretty flexible recipe in my mind, I adjust the quantities based on what I have on hand
1 Cup uncooked Quinoa
1 onion
1-2 sweet peppers
1 tomato
1 tsp ginger (fresh or paste...NOT DRIED)
1 tsp garlic (optional depending on preference)
1-2 cup spinach or other leafy green veggie (can be left out)
1/4 cup Italian dressing (you can use light or not depending on preference)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
1 Cucumber
Rinse Quinoa, put in pot and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer (the typical directions on the box)
Dice all the veggies
When you reduce the quinoa to a simmer add the ginger, garlic, cut sweet peppers and onions.
Once the quinoa is cooked add everything else, mix up and put in the fridge
Like I said, its flexible, usually this amount will make me 3-4 lunches or enough for a family of 4 as a side at dinner plus 1 lunch
Hope its helpful and the directions are understandable
The calories are generally around 180 per cup, but figure out for each batch you make because I never make it the same twice
