Can You Make Stuffing Using Quinoa?

[Anonymous]

I can't use rice (allergy) and am tired of bread. Has any tried to make stuffing using quinoa? Do you have a favorite recipe if so?

This sounds like a vile way to bastardize Thanksgiving dinner. Sorry.

If it's a recipe calling for rice mixed with a bunch of other stuff, I think it's doable. I've actually swapped quinoa for rice entirely in our dinners - quicker, tastes better, and healthier. The size and texture are different enough that I wouldn't do this in a rice-heavy recipe without testing it first, though.

Are you allergic to corn as well? My favorite stuffing is cornbread based.

I would imagine that the texture would be pretty off if you use quinoa. Why don't you try a cauliflower and mushroom stuffing?

I think the texture would be too fine and it wouldn't get crispy. Maye if you mix it half and half with bread or another grain?

Conceivably, you could make stuffing out of sawdust. That doesn't make it a good idea. Go with a vegetable option.

I take it back. Williams Sonoma Thanksgiving catalog features a quinoa and red rice stuffing mix. I know OP can't have rice but apparently quinoa can be stuffing. For only $13 a serving.
