What I industrial plant life out (much later) was that you lot cause got to add veggies, spices, etc. to the quinoa (while cooking) and then something magical happens. Quinoa takes on the attitude of whatever you lot laid upwards it with......want beefy? laid upwards it inwards beef broth, desire it spicy? laid upwards it amongst Rotel tomatoes. Some people fifty-fifty eat it for breakfast, but I haven't tried that yet.
So, lately, I've been experimenting with adding dissimilar things to quinoa in addition to this beefy quinoa was a hit. I promise you lot similar it too.
MUSHROOM QUINOA
3/4 loving cup chopped onion
6 large mushrooms
1 large carrot
1 loving cup peas
1 loving cup quinoa (rinsed in addition to drained)
2 cups beef broth (I used Campbell's beef consume)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dark pepper
pinch of cayenne (optional)
Prep work: Remove stems from mushrooms in addition to pose them inwards the nutrient processor along amongst the carrot. Pulse them until both vegetables are well-nigh the size of a pea. Next manus piece the mushrooms fairly thickly in addition to laid aside. Note: add together equally many of your favorite veggies equally you lot want.
Saute onions in addition to hence scoot them over to border of pan. Add the mushrooms in addition to sauté them (in the onion pan) until you lot become closed to toasty dark-brown color on the edges.
Put EVERYTHING into a large sauce pot and convey to a boil; cut down heat and put a tight plumbing fixtures lid on it. Reduce boil to a gentle simmer (like for rice) in addition to laid upwards for 15-20 minutes. You volition know that the quinoa is cooked completely when you lot come across that it has swollen to a semi transparent picayune circle in addition to it has a modest white seed shoot on it similar this:
After the quinoa is cooked, I similar to plough the estrus off in addition to allow it sit down (with lid on) for 10 minutes earlier eating.
Depending on how many veggies you lot pack into this recipe (there is no limit), you lot should become five or half-dozen cups inwards the finally dish. I freeze it inwards 1 loving cup measures. No involve to defrost, simply microwave uncovered for two minutes. It makes a corking (and filling) lunch, amongst no guilt !!
ENJOY !!
Quinoa is known equally a super nutrient for many reasons. The description of most of those reasons are words that I don't purpose every day, similar flavonoids, phylonutrients, antioxidants, etc.
For me, my reasons for enjoying quinoa are: it's quick in addition to slow to prepare, it volition cause got on whatsoever seasonings you lot similar in addition to most of all, I tin displace eat a large bowl of this in addition to it doesn't upshot my blood sugars rattling much at all, addition it's gluten free!! I promise you lot campaign it.
