NOTES : 5 stars, 2 reviews. Comment: Incredible taste. I added a chopped

scallion and steamed the broccoi with the quinoa in the last 5 minutes or

so.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes This quinoa salad recipe is

surprisingly tasty and healthy! Whole grain quinoa cooks quicker than most

grains and is an excellent source of protein with about 11 grams of protein

per cup of cooked quinoa. Feel free to experiment by adding different

veggies such as zuchinni, corn or even kale or spinach greens.

Hello, I'm a member of soooo many other groups I just don't get to visit

every group very often. I was just poking around on my group list and

dropped in on this one tonight. I'm also a self taught gluten free chef

and I LOVE quinoa..! From my experience quinoa should be cooked 2:1

i.e. 2cups liquid to 1cup quinoa. The 4 cups liquid to 1 1/2 quinoa in

the recipe I think will make a watery recipe or an over cooked quinoa.

The recipe is also not very descriptive in how the cooking process

should be carried out. Here is a quinoa recipe I've come up with:

 

Vegetarian Quinoa Pilaf, serves four 1/2 cup servings

 

1 cup uncooked Quinoa (becomes 2 cups cooked)

2 cups vegetable broth

1/4 cup chopped carrots

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1 Tablespoon chopped garlic (optional)

4 tablespoons olive oil

Braggs Amino Acids (my favorite salt substitute)

 

Boil vegetable broth in 3 qt. sauce pan. Slowly pour in Quinoa and

continue boiling. Saute all cut vegetables

and garlic over medium high heat in olive oil until carrots are soft

enough to eat. Stir the cooked vegetables into the Quinoa when the

broth has boiled down and the top of the Quinoa is flat in the pan. Put

a lid on the pan. Turn heat down to low simmer for 15min. Your Quinoa

will be fully cooked when you can see little tiny rings of grain in

among the rest of the grain (the rings are the outer hull of the

Quinoa). When the Quinoa is soft and fluffy turn off the heat it's

done.

 

I think the other recipe uses to much liquid to create a fluffy tasty

quinoa dish.

 

Just my .02,

chef david
