I made this this shabbos and it got raves. I roasted the kernels from 2 ears of corn with an equal amount of grape tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil. Roast until the veggies have started to caramelize at the edges. Meanwhile, I cooked a cup of quinoa. When everything was ready, I combined it, including the oil in the pan, and added salt, pepper and scallions. (The scallions are there mostly for color, so add as many as you think look nice. )

It''s all gone.

I made this (just left out the cheese) and got many compliments. It was super easy too.

My family and I are all convinced that the quinoa craze is a scam. Kind of like kale was a few years ago. Everyone pretends to love it, but in reality, it doesn't get eaten up. So, I mostly use it on Pesach. That said, I do find that quinoa is best when it is cooked without covering, as suggested in this blog: https://cookieandkate.com/perfect-quinoa/. There are also links to some reasonably good salads on that webpage.

Think of it as a base for anything. We like it with various veggies and a nice lemon dressing, or even just with toasted sesame pil, salt and slivered almonds. And sorry Joyinthemorning, I disagree. We love it. To each their own.

We love qunioa. It is usually not cooked correctly.

1 Rinse more than 30 seconds using a fine mesh colander.

2 Saute the quinoa in olive oil. About a tablespoon oil for a cup dry quinoa. You can smell when the quinoa is ready for liquid. It has a slight toasty smell for lack of a better way to describe it. Use 1 and 7/8 cup children soup broth. Cook covered until qunioa has a tail.

You can substitute 1 and 7/8 cup water and consume powder for chicken soup broth. Cook covered. (I don't like cooking with consume powder.)

I think you will find the slightly less liquid keeps the quinoa firm.

First, I totally agree with squishy. Most people tend to overcook their quinoa and use too much liquid, the result being a gross mush. But cooked correctly, it's a great menu ingredient. Flavorful, texturally engaging, and versatile.

One easy recipe is to make (gluten free!) tabbouli with it. Just swap out the bulgar for quinoa. I make mine with cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, onion, lots of parsley and mint, and a lot of lemon, salt, pepper, and olive oil (it really soaks in the seasonings so be generous).
