Quinoa
Quinoa is awesome! I add it to soups and salads; I cook mine according to the package directions only I make half of what the directions calls for. There is not a great deal of flavor but it is good for you. Another way to make it it to use stock, home made is best, instead of water. Experiment with it. You won't be disappointed.

Quinoa
Pronounced KEEN-wah-1-1/2cups of water to 1 cup Quinoa. It cooks a lot quicker than rice, and more protein too.
Just make sure to RINSE RINSE it. The quinoa is a SEED grain, so many times there is hard almost rock like parts in with the seeds, so rinse it well. Nothing worse than biting down on one of those rock thingys.

I use my rice cooker!! SO much easier than the saucepan method because mine shuts off automatically when it is just right. Also, I use soup stock instead of water to cook it.

Quinoa
I make mine into a light salad with grape tomatoes, diced cucumbers, zuccinni, summer squash, and green onions, minced cilantro,parsley and mint. dress it with a lite dressing of evoo and lemon juice. I usually make a large batch because it gets better after it sits. I love it. Its refreshing

I have been experimenting with quinoa for the past few days, I have added a little to my omlet and I have spread it over my tossed salad; I love it both ways, try it. What other ways are you guys using it? I think I am going to try it with stuffed peppers.
