It seems like lots of people are going gluten-free these days. Quinoa (pronounced “KEEN-wah”) can help fill the grain void in a gluten-free diet. It’s high in protein and fiber.
I don’t eat gluten-free, but I’ve tried a handful of recipes for quinoa. Lately I’ve been passing out recipes to friends who are trying to figure out how to add quinoa into their diets. So, I put together this mini-blogpost as a resource.
The following recipes are ones that I’ve tried and liked. If you like stronger flavors, try adjusting the spice amounts…say, doubling them…to get the flavor just how you like it.
Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts
Quinoa Pancakes (not gluten-free)
You can also try recipes that use couscous and substitute quinoa in for the couscous. Note, however, that quinoa and couscous have very different cooking times and adjust the recipes as needed.
If you’ve got some yummy recipes to add to the list, leave me a comment! Happy cooking 🙂
