quinoa

I like to make this salad as meal prep and then take it to work during the week. This dish is also quite healthy, and vegan. Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked quinoa 1-3/4 cups veggie stock 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup corn (I used one ear’s worth since...

I took this to the office yesterday (16th Jan 2024) and it was popular. I'm thinking of increasing the oil and adding vanilla extract. What are your thoughts? What would you change if you were making this recipe? Based on Buckwheat Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free + Egg-Free + Dairy-Free) |...

My son likes the taste of this recipe, but not the texture. Recipe - Quinoa Chocolate Porridge 2 If I were to substitute Quinoa / Buckwheat flour for Quinoa / Buckwheat, what other changes should I make eg the amount of water and cooking time? Quinoa Chocolate Porridge 2 Ingredients...

0.5 tsp of Allspice with 0.25 tsp of cinnamon is good. I wasn't so keen on cardamom or cumin, but may try black pepper. Would you leave the cloves as they are or grind them? At what point would I add them to the recipe? I have some mace leaves which don't grind well. When should I add them? I...

I normally make a pizza base with 40g of oats and 160g of wholewheat bread flour. If I want to make pizza base with quinoa flour rather than wholewheat flour, are there any pitfalls of which I should be aware? What would be the equivalent of quinoa flour? Does quinoa flour react to yeast in a...

I've seen this recipe and would like to substitute uncooked quinoa for the quinoa flour. How much uncooked quinoa would you advise? Can I substitute sunflower oil or dessicated coconut for coconut oil 1 to 1. It's for the Jewish Passover. Any other advice welcome? Healthy Quinoa Carrot Cake

I've adapted my recipe to get the sugar from dates rather than Truvia. Please can I have your thoughts? Am I adding ingredients at the right time? I was adding the cinnamon at the end, but read in The Science of Spice that it's better to add it early on. If adding early, should I add more? Any...

When my husband was on the road working regularly, I found an easy, healthy option to keep already cut-up salad veggies in the refrigerator plus a few cooked-ahead items that could easily be warmed up to compile a complete and well-balanced meal in just minutes. There was a healthy eatery...

I want to make some plain buckwheat or quinoa then add yeast extract. Normally, I would pour some into a measuring container, weigh it then pour it into my mixture. However, yeast extract is quite stringy, so may not pour very easily. It could also end up sticking to the wooden spoon without...

I've come across this recipe and would like to make it healthier without adversely affecting the flavour or texture. Am I OK using dairy milk and butter? Can I replace the coconut oil with rapeseed or Sunflower oil? If so, would it be a 1:1 replacement? If I replace the cup (200g) coconut...

I'm from LA and the eating falls on one of two sides: Swimming in decadence or 'healthy'. These scones fall in the latter and are made with spelt flour (for flavor -- and they do add a wonderfully nuttiness) and quinoa for texture and added protein. I finish them off before putting them in the...

I would like to add some chocolate into the Quinoa whilst its cooking. Should I add it at the beginning, in the middle or at the end? I'm hoping to have some delicious melted chocolate to augment the flavour. Ingredients ▢80 g quinoa raw, rinsed, approx. ½ cup ▢240 ml milk, any adjust the...

When cooking Quinoa do you add boiling water to the Quinoa or add cold water and bring it to the boil? Or perhaps it doesn't matter.

When boiling quinoa with water, the instructions say to cover it. I was following a recipe which involved using milk instead of water. The quinoa didn't seem to absorb into the milk, so I was wondering if it's best to leave the milk and quinoa uncovered and stir regularly. Any thoughts?

Ok, what's going on around here. Quinoa, quinoa everywhere. Is there a special sauce y'all are using. :D yeah, it decent but....

Why not try something more or less in an eastern Asian theme? Perhaps take a page from Chinese Fried Rice?? And just have fun, without claiming veracity on methodology or history? Okay, and yes, my goal is also (obviously) to make the dish taste good! For this, I chose a red quinoa...

There are three quinoa colors - I decided to run a taste test of all three. Since I could not cook all three in my rice cooker at the same time (without them running together), I decided this had to be a salad, as I wanted all the quinoa to be served at the same temperature. This recipe per...
