quinoa question Tracy

[Guest guest]

Quinoa is fantastic. Yes, you will always need to

rinse it thoroughly in a mesh strainer. The grains

are small so a regular colander won't work.

This is a natural bitter coating so insects and birds

don't eat the grain as it grows. Not harmful but it

sure is bitter. I like to roast the quinoa before I

cook it, this will add a nice nutty flavor. After you

rinse you can let it sit and toss it a little with a

spoon. Roast it in a dry skillet until it browns a

bit, has a good roasted aromatic scent and pops, this

won't take long.

Do you have many black grains in yours? I rarely see

them, if so I pick them out.

Enjoy your recipe.

You get up every morning

From your alarm clock's warning

Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above

And people pushin', people shovin'

And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time

You can get to work by nine

And start your slaving job to get your pay

Thank you for the info. I made it last night and we loved it. I got the recipe

from your group files. I did only use half the amount of quinoa incase we didnt

like it we would still have the veggies to eat. Dh really enjoyed it. I am a

lemon lover so I added more for me. If anyone has any more ideas for this

wonderful grain please let me know. Thank you ahead of time
