Go Go Quinoa

Be honest About Quinoa?

Im not really into experimentation. Am i going to like it?

I like pasta and rice, wasnt so keen on cous cous.

WOuld it be good in chilli?

I love quinoa. I’m not a fan of couscous, either — I don’t like the flavor or texture. My two year old actually asks for quinoa, which is crazy because 99% of her diet consists of bananas and macaroni & cheese.

If you just cook it regularly, quinoa is kind of bland. My favorite way to cook it is to chop up and saute an onion, then add the rinsed quinoa and milk/soymilk. Sometimes I’ll mix in some spinach or kale or other greens. At the end, I mix in a little parmesan cheese (or any hard cheese on hand). AND IT’S SOOOO GOOD.

My other favorite way to eat quinoa is for breakfast. I cook it in milk with some apples or raisins and cinnamon. Then, I eat it with sliced bananas, a couple spoonfuls of yogurt, a little drizzle of honey on it, and topped with walnuts. IT’S SOOOOOOOO GOOD.

Sorry. I’m getting carried away. I like quinoa, though. I think it lends well to creamier dishes, which is why I cook it in soy milk.

Also, one trick I read about in a cookbook: that after you’ve cooked it and are ready to serve, pack quinoa into a round measuring cup, and overturn it onto the plate, so it makes a little Quinoa Cake. That’s a very good way to serve it, IMO.
