Superfood: 10 Quinoa Recipes

All About Quinoa: More Quinoa Recipes

If you’re new to eating quinoa, don’t shy away from ordering it up because it seems hard to pronounce! I ate quinoa for years while totally butchering the word until a savvy friend corrected me. It’s pronounced: KEEN-wah.

6. Quinoa Chili – Between the whole grains and tasty beans, this healthy chili is full of protein.

7. Quinoa Black Bean Burrito Bowl – Who needs rice when you can use quinoa as the base in a healthy burrito bowl?

8. Quinoa Salad – Keep it light by tossing cooked quinoa with a mix of fresh and steamed veggies.

9. Warm Quinoa Breakfast Cereal – Take a break from the oatmeal and try a comforting bowl of quinoa, dried fruit, and nuts instead!

10. Quinoa Loaf – For a hearty supper, try this veggie loaf packed with quinoa, beans, and veggies.

Do you have a favorite way to prepare quinoa? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!

Interesting, I'm guessing you can do almost anything with Quinoa you can with rice or couscous.

The Quinoa Loaf really has amazing reviews. I copied and saved the recipe(recipe files vegetarian). There were many complaints about the texture being too crumbly, so I will be adding an egg as a binder, as I am not vegan. There were also many complaints about it being a bit bland, many reviewers recommended using broth to cook the quinoa in and to be sure to taste at all stages to adjust for salt and pepper. Also, many sautee'd the onions and mushrooms together before adding to the mix(the recipe calls for them to be added raw).

Thank you for the quinoa recipes. I am doing The Liver Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cabot and I think a couple of these could be very useful and quite tasty.
