can you guys suggest any recipes for quinoa. i particularly enjoy it mediterranean style with roasted red peppers and yogurt but i am a totally newbie in the kitchen. was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for simple, tasty, relatively clean recipes. thanks!

Steph: I had to ask my sister because I’ve only made quinoa once and she loves that stuff!

Besides using it as a plain side dish for meats and veggies, she can use it to make pasta salads with any kind of veggies (maybe bell peppers, onions, olives), some crumbled feta cheese, and a greek dressing or vinaigrette or squeeze a lemon as a dressing.  Or she can add it to soups.

Tramanh:  I had an amazing quinoa crusted fish in Melbourne.  I could have sworn it was crispy fish skin.  We’ve also made “casserole” type dishes with it - baked with chicken and veggies.
