AlmiraGulch Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've seen threads about quinoa before but haven't seen anyone prepare it like this. I happen to love it and found this recipe and made it for dinner tonight. It was a universal hit (except my Aspie 15 year old who eats nothing, but that's another story). My modifications: 1. I'd use less (or maybe even no) cayenne. I love spicy foods but my little one doesn't. Even with only 1/4 tsp, it definitely had too much of a kick for her. 2. I only used one can of beans because that's all I had. I'm glad, because two would have been too much, I think. 3. I used canned corn instead of frozen because that's all I had. Turned out great. 4. I used chicken broth instead of veggie, partly because that's what I had on hand and partly because we like quinoa prepared with chicken broth. I'm not sure I've ever posted a recipe here before, but this was post-worthy. I'll be making it regularly, and next time I may add some leftover shredded chicken.

DawnM Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks. I would like this and maybe one of my kids. My husband MIGHT like it if I use something besides black beans. He hates beans....don't get me started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Yes! Quiona. It cooks in seconds, does everything, goes anywhere, and looks all pretty & curly-q at the same time. :) Quiona. Yes, I think I'll have some. I wish I could do a commercial. lol Edited September 30, 2011 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks for posting that recipe. I have seen it before but haven't made it. It is now on my menu for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona100 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I have this in my Allrecipes recipe box but haven't tried it yet, even though I have the quinoa in my pantry. I am glad you liked it. I need to fix it next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Country Mama Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I always make a quinoa pilaf, partly because it's fabulous and partly because that means nobody else will touch it/I get it all to myself. So while I love the sound of the quinoa & black beans dish, I'm a little worried--what if my family likes it???? Guess I'll try it for tomorrow's lunch anyway. I'll be sure to report! Thanks for the recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
