Quinoa recipes

[Anonymous]

What's your favorite way to prepare quinoa? Our current favorite is veg broth, salt, white pepper, cilantro and salsa verde. I'm interested in other people's successes!

I'm lazy and just mix some with brown jasmine rice and broth and cook in the rice cooker.

Check out March Rose Shulmann's column in the NY Times from last week (it's in the Health section). She had 3-4 recipes featuring quinoa.

I cook onions in olive oil until they are soft, adding some garlic toward the end, then mix with cooked quinoa, beans, chopped tomatoes, chopped canned artichoke hearts, fresh basil, sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper.

saute onions and garlic, add spices like cumin/coriander/curry powder, then add the quinoa plus broth and a little half-and-half. cook until the quinoa is done, then add chopped veggies like frozen corn, green beans, cut up zucchini or whatever else seems exciting, and cook another 5-10 minutes. sometimes I add a bit of shredded coconut when I add the broth and cream.

toss gently with avocados, black beans, toasted slivered almonds, and lime-cumin vinaigrette.

The only thing I've tried is a quinoa pilaf, but some of these recipes sound really great - I'm not the OP, but thanks for sharing!

I made the zucchini-quinoa recipe from the NYT series last week, and it was really good! I substituted a different kind of cheese b/c I don't like whatever was recommended, but even my DH liked it.

I make a chicken noodle soup or chicken and rice soup recipe, but sub quinoa for the noddles or rice.

1 cup quinoa, 2 cups chicken broth. In le creuset casserole at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Done. Mix into any other vegetables, soup, stew, from there.
