Quinoa recipies

Anyone have a killer quinoa recipie? I just tried it yesterday and really liked it and would like to use it more (much to my children's dispair).

Please share! :

We make this quinoa salad every week in the summer! It's from the superb book Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair.
Wash, rinse, drain 1C quinoa. Cook with 1 3/4C water with a little salt for about 15 minutes till water is gone. Toast 1/4C pine nuts in skillet. Combine 1/4c olive oil, 1/4c lemon juice, big handful of chopped parsley, small handful of chopped mint, a couple chopped scallions or a little red onion, 1/4c currants, 1/2c crumbled feta. Toss it all together and serve warm, room temp, or cold. My toddler loves this!! :

Quinoa, cooked and cooled
Toasted pine nuts
Peas, cooked and cooled (or thawed!)
Chopped sun dried tomatoes

Toss with a balsamic vinaigrette

Everyone I serve this to goes nuts over it!

This is not a recipe per se, but I love quinoa in lieu of grits for a breakfast "grit bowl". Cook quinoa per directions, poach or fry an egg and nestle into quinoa. If desired, add cheese or sausage. Yum!

I made quinoa tabouli a couple weeks ago and it was really good. I used sliced red and orange cherry tomatoes in place of the romas. YUM! Oh and I left out the currants because I didn't have any.

I used this recipe, but I'm sure you could base it off any tabouli recipe you like.

My family loves the quinoa and black beans recipe from allrecipes.com

I add chopped cumcumbers, cilantro, chopped tomatos, garlic, lemon juice & a pinch of salt & pepper...yummy. If I don't have anything on hand I grab the fresh salsa from trader joes & that does a nice job as well.

The ways we eat it:

Just boiled with butter and salt mmm
Tabboulleh made with it instead of bulghur wheat
Quinoa flakes hot cereal with butter, hemp seeds, cinnamon, salt and honey

And I just made pancakes with quinoa flakes yesterday and they turned out good!
For 2 servings:
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 cup water
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking sodea
1/4 tsp salt
a bit of sugar, honey or stevia
Blend for a few minutes in a food processor

I've made this several times, and am addicted! (I make it w/o the nuts, though...)
