Quinoa......who else eats this and thinks it's the most amazing thing ever!

[Curiousmama]

I do although no doubt I'll bore of it soon

I can't get over how healthy it is, a complete protein without meat. Ok, it's quite bland but goes well with richer/spicier food. I've been having it with veggie stews up to now. I could imagine it's nice with chilli too.

Never tried it as a veggie, becuase it sounds weird, is it filling....had cous cous, nice, but not filling. Doe's it absorb stock, herbs, etc. Is it weird....bored of brown rice which does'nt?

Not sure about it absorbing stock probably will? No, very cheap. I bought a bag for £1.55 and have used 1/8th of that and that's for 4 portions.

some quinoa info

I got 96 points with 'quinoas' in scrabble last night after seeing this thread! I thought quinoa was a plural form but tried it and yay!

well done rachmumoftwo Would also have thought quinoa was plural though?

yes HM but it still has a lot of carbs so why not use it that way? It just has lots of protein too.

I do like it but I think it looks like congealed sperm on close inspection.

Never actually seen congealed sperm...maybe I'm too greedy

nice with loads of herbs and a chickpea and chorizo stew

Quote of the week, surely?

Oh I do hope not

you know, that tiny bit you get on your arm or in your hair and you think what's that and then you realise it's THAT, and that's what quinoi looks like IMO. Maybe I'm on my own here.

ANYWAY, sorry, mmm, quinoi is so tasty and healthy.

....like I said...

Suddenly cous cous is more in favour by the minute
