Any suggestions for quinoa?

[Stina]

I sprouted a bag batch of quinoa than dehydrated it. Any recipe suggestions?

[Stina]

Well, this batch got ground up and added to the onion bread recipe; we'll see how that turns out. But I'm curious what else people do with quinoa.

Now I occasionally add quinoa, fresh and sprouted and not dehydrated, to a fruit salad. Seems to digest very well. I sometimes make it into a breakfast porridge too. I'm going to experiment with making a raw stir-fry, using the quinoa as the rice.

I have used it as the base of a breakfast cereal. I added gogi berries and almond milk and chopped apples.

would really like to see how you made the breakfast cereal
I saw this recipe on youtube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKfwLAdiPoc

Experiment with the oil though.. I think 1/4 cup is way too much. I just add about 1 and a half tablespoon, or just enough to taste it. But then again it's following a basic tabouli recipe which usually does use tons of oil.

I mixed this with sprouted lentils with nama shoyu lemon... I think I also added cumin but don't remember. Just a little. Pretty good I'd say. :)

That looks good, thanks. I have decided, unlike a lot of raw foodists, that I do like a limited amount of grain in my diet, makes me feel good, strong, but I sure cannot handle raw sprouted lentils.

Oh I actually like it with fruit salad. Great energy.

that's fine, maybe mung beans instead of lentils?

I made an AWESOME sprounted lentil and quinoa mexican-ish dish today. Sprouted quinoa and french lentils (the blueish ones) with tomatoes, red onion, red pepper, cilantro, a little cumin, soy sauce, cucumers and avocado.

Quinoa is a fruit, doncha know? ;) Anyways, I personally eat it steamed (I'm currently happily high raw), but one of my raw buddies likes it in his milkshakes.

Sprouted quinoa salad + dates & agave nectar. It's breakfast!!

I'm going to try to sub it into Alissa's chili recipe in place of the barley tomorrow. We'll see how it works out.

Chop 4 tomatoes, cut about 2 cups of baby spinach, add some red onions, add the quinoa. Then make a dressing of olive oil and lemon juice. Mix it all up.


Then lay some baby spinach leaves on a plate, add sliced avocado, and then place this salad on top. Enjoy


Another salad I have made is quinoa, chopped cucumber, black olives, blanched asparagus. Make a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard. This isn't a raw recipe but you can make adjustments. If you can make a raw feta cheese it goes good with this too.

Last week recipe was:

quinoa
a whole bunch of cilantro
3 tomatos
4 stalks of green onions
1 big cucumber
pre-packaged shredded carrots cut up in smaller bits
lemon juice
olive oil
flaxseed oil
chili paste

This made a big bowl and lasted for a whole week for one person.

I bet a dab of chili paste in there transformed it, sounds great.
