After this thread started running, I bought some Quinoa, and added it to some leftover smashed beans. Added a dash of hot sauce, grated some cheese pver the top & it was sort of like chili. It was definately a good use of leftovers....

agreed! a little trick I learned about quinoa... It is great (has a nutty flavor) and if you put in a few dried apricots when you start cooking it (I use mushroom broth) they plump up in the dish and add a really nice mild sweetness!

We cook Quinoa in broth with orange juice (and zest if we're being fancy) and add frozen shrimp. yummy easy yummy I cook Quinoa like rice but I always use stock instead of water. It has a great texture. I love to add it to soup or use it like rice in a main dish.

one of my favorite snacks/sidedishes: cook quinoa as directed, then shred beets into it. either just like that, or add ghee and/or sea salt and/or braggs amino acids or even soy sauce. yum.

So do you rinse the quinoa really well and then let it dry before you grind it? I've always loved cream of rice - this "cream of quinoa" sounds like a winner. thanks for the awesome idea! -lj

somebody mentioned that they didn't like the smell/taste of it. that might be because you didn't rinse it well enough before you cooked it. make sure to rinse it very well before cooking, and it gets rid of the bitter smell/taste.

you've got to sneak in healthy food slowly on a sugar cereal type. i've got mine eating spinach and some soy based products, but it's a gradual progression. if you're trying out a new recipe, it might be good to test it out on friends, so he doesn't permanently dislike a food.

Here's a good nutritional summary: Nutritionally, quinoa might be considered a supergrain--although it is not really a grain, but the seed of a leafy plant that's distantly related to spinach. Quinoa has excellent reserves of protein, and unlike other grains, is not missing the amino aicd lysine, so the protein is more complete (a trait it shares with other "non-true" grains such as buckwheat and amaranth). The World Health Organization has rated the quality of protein in quinoa at least equivalent to that in milk. Quinoa offers more iron than other grains and contains high levels of potassium and riboflavin, as well as other B vitamins: B6, niacin, and thiamin. It is also a good source of magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese, and has some folate (folic acid). Eat it up!!! That breakfast sounds great, by the way. Can I borrow your sweety? Mine likes to eat Cap'n Crunch for breakfast :-b

Quinoa is one of the grains that is high in protein, and higher in fat than other grains (good fat). I am actually eating some right now, as I write: Red Quinoa mixed in w/ thick lentil soup...

I cook quinoa and sometimes add some finely chopped veggies...I then steam a few collard green leaves and wrap up the quinoa mixture like a burrito or sushi...this for me has been the best way to eat it and get in my veggies too..

I *heart* quinoa. When I want a good, simple hippie-style meal, I mound steamed broccoli and marinated, pan-fried tempeh on top of quinoa and dress it with homemade peanut sauce. Yum! Your breakfast idea sound delish!

My current favorite is to put coarsely ground quinoa in a bowl, mix in enough water, a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, spices and herbs (try sage), and nuke that for about 5 minutes in a microwave oven. Extremely lazy and deliciously creamy.

I love quinoa. Seeds of Change makes organic quinoa mixes, with rice and millet and yummy flavorings like "zesty cilantro". I like it as a side dish with fish, or just with some steamed veggies. Sometimes a little cheese if I'm feeling crazy. Cold leftover it's great on salad. And always good in soups.
