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

It sucks with butter on it, and nothing sucks with butter on it. Except maybe turnips.

I mean, it exists.





I don't think it was a troll. I just think it probably isn't as satisfying as oats or something when it comes to sweet dishes.

This thread got me thinking about it.

I stir fried some asparagus, peppers & onions, with cumin seeds, red pepper, and soy sauce. Served it over hot quinoa with cilantro, lime juice, and more soy sauce. It's pretty good.

No trolling, i promise Brah.

I mentioned earlier, i've had it from a vegan/hipster spot in Atlanta as a hot breakfast with brown sugar and berries and it was good.

If i'm not mistaken, i saw it at Aldi about a week ago as a pre-packaged hot breakfast cereal, right next to the oatmeal and cream of wheat.

I make quinoa bowls all the time. I usually do a Mexican version and an Asian version. Pack them with chicken and tons of veggies. They are great to bring to work and heat up for lunch. It holds flavor well, without getting overly soggy. Plus you still get the lightness of quinoa, so you don't feel bloated after and groggy.

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.

Chili with rice sounds bad enough but with QUINOA?

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.

Quinoa is considered a complete protein.

Quit e-stalking me bro
