I bought a box of Quinoa (keen-wa) and finally got a chance to make some. I havent known how to use it...so I actually just dove in and made it up as I went.
First I washed the quinoa as I hear it can be pretty dirty, then I cooked 1 cup with 2 cups of water. When it was almost done I added in:
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 ears of corn (cut off the cob of course)
1 can of cannellini beans
1/2 can of diced green chilis
nature season's to taste ( I LOVE this seasoning!)
Mixed it all up, and I love how it came out. I debated about using black beans, but have been wanting to try the white kidney beans...and I like them!
I really enjoyed the quinoa and now I am off in search of what more I can make with it...what do you like to make with it?
