Grain of the Week - 1 - Red Quinoa
The new year is upon us. Here is Wishing You a Very Very Happy New Year! Well I am not into new year resolutions but this year I decided to make one. To eat a new grain that is not white rice or wheat every week. For those who want to join in the grain experiment here is the grain of the week.

DeleteHi ISG, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI've made quinoa in the past -- it's messier than mustard seed if you know what I mean ;)
I'm curious to know whether you cook it up in a hot or cold dish. I have cooked it plain with broth as the liquid and some simple sauteed onion -- it has a very different sort of texture that 'pops' in the mouth.
At the deli where I work now, white quinoa is served up as a salad with butternut squash, but the dressing is strange -- milky and sweet. We purchase this so I don't know the ingredients.
I think it would make an interesting curry with winter squash ... good food for thought, no pun!
Hi Linda,
DeleteI know exactly what you mean. I use the strainer (the one we use for straining tea back home) to strain them after I wash them.
I do not like mushy quinoa. I prefer it cooked like rice. It easily substitutes for rice with curries and the family prefers the crunch over the rice :)
Happy New Year! I love quinoa but so far have stuck to shop bought versions. Watching this thread with interest...
