I love quinoa but I only have a few tried and true recipes.  Help me spice up my repertoire?

I make a variation of this: food52.com/recipes/2434-one-pot-kale-and-quinoa-pilaf



I cook the quinoa separately in chicken broth and saute the kale with onions in a skillet (I found the kale overcooked when I tried cooking it together with the quinoa). Then when the quinoa and kale are done I fold them together with the lemon juice and cheese. I skip the pine nuts because I prefer walnuts (or no nuts), and I just use regular olive oil. Oh, I also skip the scallions because I prefer the sweeter flavor of sauteed onions.

This recipe adapts so well to different flavors! I've used feta cheese instead of goat cheese and sometimes pass on the cheese altogether. My husband made a bacon/blue cheese variation which was incredible! You can sub different greens too. We've tried it with spinach, and I think chard would work well with it too.

Also, I like this as a side with lemon chicken.

Love this recipe.

We also like to use it in place of rice in stuffed peppers or casseroles.
