I've been making and improvising on the recipe PurpleThunder gave me for months now, and LOVING it

what ELSE could I be making?

I LOVE that stuff

I've never made it but I was at a Trader Joe's not too long ago and they were making this with ranch dressing, tomatoes and cucumber, like a salad almost. It was pretty good

How do you make it?

That kinda looks like Tabouli.

I use mine as a substitute for white rice; in salads, soups, as side dish. It takes herbs and seasonings very well, and precooked quinoa can even be used to make patties and burgers.

I generally cook it in veggie broth (you can certainly use chicken or beef stock) and add onions and carrots and some garam marasala or even curry or whatever spices you like. Then top with some kind of protein (like honey and thyme marinated tofu fillets).

OH - and golden raisins. I always add golden raisins.

I've never tried it, but that burger looks good.

They're especially good when you replace the quinoa with 100% ground beef.

I have a recipe for stuffed peppers using quinoa that I haven't tried out yet. Maybe I'll give it a go this weekend.

Just what I was gonna say,
