quinoa and protein - Hi Susie & also vegan recipe post

[Guest guest]

Susie, rinse it really well in the mesh strainer and let it dry for a while.

Toaste in pan before you cook it. The flavor completely changes and gives it a

nutty roasted taste. I love this quick " Korean Salad " I make this recipe

without tasting the quinoa but when I make a pilaf I pre-toast for more flavor.

" Korean Salad " recipe post:

 

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup bean sprouts

1/4 cup chopped green onions

2 Tblsps. lite soy sauce or tamari sauce

1 Tblspn. sesame oil

1 Tblspn. rice vinegar

1/2 tsp. sugar

1 clove minced garlic

1/4 tsp. gr. black pepper

dash of cayenne pepper or hot pepper flakes

1/3 cup pine nuts toasted or sliced almonds toasted.

Favorite type lettuce leaves to serve on.

 

Enjoy, you aren't the only person that didn't want their quinoa well........LOL

What a bad taste if you don't and this is actually a delicious, nutricious

grain.......................Donna

 

Blanch bean sprouts in boiling water for one minute. Drain well.

Combine green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, black

pepper and cayenne pepper. Toss with quinoa, sprouts and toasted nuts. Chill

for one hour and serve on lettuce leaves.

probably add some diced zucchini to it to make it more

substancial.

 

i tried quinoa several years ago and remember it

tasting funky...i'm sure i didn't rinse it enough.

i'll make sure to rinse if very well this time. now,

i'm looking forward to trying it again.
