Favorite Quinoa Recipes?

[pacificrules]

I've just discovered quinoa and am in love. (I've heard about it for a long time, but never made it until earlier this week. I'm bummed I waited so long!)

Do you have a quinoa recipe you'd recommend?

I love this one, but often leave out the onions if I don't feel like cooking them.

These are quite yummy: eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/love-my-quinoa-burger/ The recipe calls for frying them, but I haven't had any problems cooking them on my nonstick griddle! They freeze really well too!

Hi I haven't posted on here before, but had to chime in to this.

Right now I have quinoa meals I'm obsessed with:

#1. Quinoa as a substitute for noodles in homemade macoroni (with cheese, chkn, and broccoli)

#2. With pesto, chkn, steamed spinach and parm cheese as a wrap

One of my fav local lunch spots use quinoa in pretty much every entree; I usually try to mimmick from their menu: www.proteinbarchicago.com/

Cook in some broth and add grilled, chopped veggies. Corn is especially good! Top with a lottle surichi and chow down!

Ditto! I make these 2-3 times/month. They are great! We actually don't eat them as burgers...we just called them "quinoa patties" and I serve them with sweet potato fries. Or we just pig out on these alone

This is also very good:

We don't call them burgers either! I enjoy burgers a bit too much to associate quinoa patties with them no matter how yummy they are! I do like to top my salads with them instead of chicken though! They are a pretty good substitute for that!

Oh, I have a bag of quinoa in the pantry to use.

Cook in broth (veggie for vegetarian or chicken if you don't care) with a bit of garlic powder added (maybe 1/2 tsp. per 1 c. quinoa). Once it's done cooking, stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and some fresh baby spinach until the spinach is wilted.

Um, YUM! So trying this.

I love quinoa, it is the best guilt-free meal! Here are my favourites:

1. Lemon and Olive Quinoa patties: this is a great quick weekday meal and it makes a ton! I usually eat it for dinner two days running and often have enough to take for lunch too. Try them with salsa or ketchup. joythebaker.com/2011/10/lemon-olive-and-parsley-quinoa-cakes/

2. Roasted Quinoa stuffed tomatoes: This is more of a weekend/company's coming type of recipe, but it is fun to make and pretty impressive. An excellent entree for vegetarians! whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/baked-stuffed-tomatoes/

3. Moroccan Quinoa salad: another recipe that makes A LOT! I just discovered this one this week and I still have leftovers. Makes a great lunch for work www.scribd.com/doc/71617329/Moroccan-and-Rollin-Quinoa-Salad

Thanks for all of the ideas, ladies! I just got this one from a friend. I thought I'd include it in this post.

Those are awesome! We eat them as patties, too. With a little sour cream on top. Yum!

I also really like this recipe: adventuresofmini-martha.blogspot.com/2012/04/southwestern-quinoa.html

This was my first Quinoa recipe, and I really liked it.

My husband threw in some bell peppers and cooked it in chicken broth, and that was really good too.
