15 Quinoa Recipes

Let’s get this out of the way: quinoa is not paleo.
KEEN-WAH -> NOT -> PAY-LEE-OH.
Alrite?
So 'Paleo Police' please don’t jam my inbox with your fantastic messages warning me that the Aztec seed is not cavemen-approved.
I’m aware of it and I’m OK with it.
I already mentioned here, here, here, and probably in a couple of other places I don’t remember.
I doesn’t matter though: I dig quinoa therefore I eat quinoa.
It's my favorite gluten-free...seed.
You might have heard people calling quinoa a grain but technically it’s not a grain, it’s a seed treated like a grain (some like to call it pseudo-grain)
Quinoa has great nutrient profile: it is a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids, which is rare for a plant source. It’s also rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
What I really love about quinoa is the subtle nutty flavour and slightly crunchy texture.
Quinoa is great in casseroles, salads, meatballs/patties, and soups.
If you haven’t tried it yet well, you really should!
