The lime is awesome though!</p> <p>HowSweetEats.com has a bunch of quinoa recipes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699210 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:40:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 699210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it all the time. I make a pot of it 1-2 times a week and keep it in a tupperware container in the fridge. Sometimes for lunch I like to cook a few eggs over-easy or sunny-side up and put them over a bed of quinoa. This morning I made a hash: crumbled sausage, diced roasted sweet potato (diced really small--maybe 20 minutes in the oven?), chopped mushrooms and spinach, then I threw in a cup or two of cooked quinoa and put a few over easy eggs on top. Even without the egg it's delicious (I'm having the leftover hash for lunch). </p> <p>I also use it in chili--I have a recipe for a sweet potato, black bean and quinoa chili that's phenomenal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699200 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:38:06 +0000 Pirouette 699200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually follow the recipe on the box for the ratio of water to quinoa, and then add the zest from a lemon to the pot, bring the quinoa in water with zest to a boil then reduce to simmer for about 10 min. then i make a little dressing with some olive oil and lemon juice and some dried herbs (usually herbs de provence) and pour that on it. it's so easy but nice flavor! and i make veggies on the side for it b/c DH doesn't like veggies in his grains (weirdo!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699189 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:34:52 +0000 anbanan15 699189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was on TED I almost always cooked it as directed, like rice (1 cup quinoa to 2 cup water, you can also use broth), but tossed in every single veggies I could eat! We also added in raisins, pineapple and sunflower seeds! So good! And super quick!</p> <p>If you google quinoa recipes you can find a ton and some on pinterest. You can use it for anything really from replacing rice, flour or milk to making play dough for you little one!</p> <p>ETA: an all quinoa pasta is super easy! Just quinoa flour and enough water to make a dough. Roll, let dry a little and boil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699172 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:29:41 +0000 prettylizy 699172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it instead of rice (even cook it in our rice cooker). </p> <p>I've made this a few times and it's delightful<br /> <a href="http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quinoa_and_chickpea_salad_with_tomato_vinaigrette.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quinoa_and_chickpea_salad_with_tomato_vinaigrette.php</a></p> <p>We also mix it in as a binder in meatballs instead of bread crumbs, use it as a crust for oven frittata and I'll even toast it and throw it on salads for a little crunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699163 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:26:17 +0000 immabeetoo 699163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could price compare with amazon? I get ours from Costco. No special recipes I usually just use t wherever I'd use rice. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-quinoa-recipes#post-699154 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:23:39 +0000 illumina 699154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get hold of quinoa at my local supermarket... there's a small "healthy food" section with grains, pulses etc. and they are usually out of quinoa. However today they had some in, so I bought a bag. Only now I can't remember what I was going to make with it...</p> <p>Anyone care to share a relativly quick and easy quinoa recipe? </p>
