Quinoa?

Being from the land where Quinua comes  from,I will give you some web sites, many are bilingual or you can use Goggle translator, we use it just like noodles,or rice, we make soup, baked, desserts, drinks, candies,here they are

Bolivian web, Bolivian recipes, Bolivian cooking, Bolivian cook books.

One of my favorite breakfast cereals is:

1/4 cup quinoia

1/4 cup millet

1/4 cup amaraeth (sp?)'

1.5 cups water

Either cook them in a sauce pan, or put them in a rice cooker under "quick cook."

Serve with either a little Agave, Maple Syrop, or Stevia, and fresh fruit/beries if available.

Really great  as a break from steel cut oats and very healthy!!

Just had some for dinner - ate mine with salsa, but then I'll put salsa on almost anything!

I have a friend who cooks hers in vegetable broth instead of water (she's a vegetarian), but you could also use chicken broth.

I have been eating a quinoa, cranberry and mint side salad at work for the past few months.  I haven't made it at home yet, but found what I believe to be similar recipe online:

Ingredients:
1 cup Quinoa (pre rinsed)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup water
2/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup organic dried cranberries
1/2 cup celery, finely sliced
1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped fine
1/2 lemon, zest of and juice of
1/3 cup walnuts, quickly chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Combine the orange juice, water and quinoa in a med/large pot. Bring to boil over high heat. Stir once, cover and reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa has expanded to little swirls. stir, and set aside to cool.

2. Once the quinoa is cooled, add the celery, parsley, mint, red onion, lemon zest and juice, cranberries and walnuts. stir well to combine. add the olive oil and salt and pepper and stir again. refrigerates nicely for a couple of days.

If you like tabbouleh, you can replace the bulgur wheat with quinoa!

I just purchased "Quinoa 365 - The Everyday Superfood".  Anxious to try some new recipes!

thenewme...I put a can of organic stewed tomatoes. 1 can of organic black beans. Fresh herbs, garlic then let simmer (like rice). I then put salsa on top. It tastes like an enchalade without the meat and cheese. Very healthy and tasty.

thenewme, my fav couscous recipe is the one in the Alice Silverstone cookbook. (found in my library. maybe yours?). It has roasted veggies--zukes, squash, onions, carrots + some spices like saffron. It's vegan. FWIW, I think couscous is nutritionally OK but not a protein powerhouse like quinoa. (my nutritionist said that quinoa is one of only two plants that are a "complete protein." the other is soy. dang, can't eat that now!)
