Quinoa. Do you like to prepare it sweet or savory?

I know some of you don't eat it at all, but I like it ... savory.
It takes on flavors really well. I used it instead of pasta in my pastalaya and it was great.
Also made a Mediterranean salad out of it with some feta, diced roma tomatoes and cucumber, fresh spinach, capers, and a little evoo and a clove of garlic through a press. It was great.
However, I can't stand the stuff in a sweet dish,.or when it's prepared as a hot breakfast cereal.
So how do you do YOUR quinoa?

Don't understand why anyone would want to eat this unless it was an indigenous staple of whatever shitty 3rd world country they grew up in.

Savory. The majority of the time, I just eat plain. Lately I have been making this pizza crust. It's really easy, hearty, and tasty.

I like it in cold salads.
That's about it.

I cook with it regularly and have never considered a sweet preparation. I don't think I've seen a sweet preparation at any restaurant. Have you?
I like preparing it with some roasted chicken and an assortment of veggies and add some kind of "sauce". The dish is pretty versatile so I switch out "sauces" often, but usually just go with a little balsamic.

I pretty much only ever eat it in salads.

Greek salad is great with quinoa. Not too much though. It's a good protein boost.

Savory only. Quinialaya, sub it for rice in gumbo, stew, etc.

I really like quinoa, especially with grilled fish, but I have never had it in a sweet dish.
I'd like to defend pastalaya. There are a lot of bad versions floating around just like there are bad jambalayas, gumbos, etc.
But I have had great authentic versions prepared by family and friends from down in St James and St John parishes and they've always been consistently outstanding.

So has anyone heard of a sweet preparation or was this one fine troll?

It's gonna sound crazy, but we used quinoa instead of rice for chili one time, and it was awesome. I mean it was good to the point that I always ask when we're making chili if we have quinoa in the house. Given that, I can see it being really good in jambalaya too even though we haven't made it.

Savory, I just put mine in rice cooker with a tablespoon of salted butter and a tablespoon of fish sauce. Great side to any meat. Picks up flavors from the runoff juices of grilled pork or chicken

My wife uses it as rice substitute for black eyed peas and casseroles sometimes. Not my favorite but it's ok. She added some to a teriyaki stir fry and it was pretty good.
