I do use quinoa, albeit not in very imaginative ways, mostly as a base to eat with a sauce or stew - rather like you would eat couscous or rice. I follow the instructions on the pack, basically it is cooked in boiling water to which is added some salt and a bit of olive oil. When it is cooked, after about 15 mintues, I drain away any excess water, and then leave it in the pan with the lid on for tne minutes of so after having added another dressing of butter or olive oil, to absorb the reminaing mositure and swell up a little more. I often serve it with a spiced up vegetable and tomato stew. D loves it.
It is supposed to be a wonder grain with a very high protein content and a complete protein too.
