A Quinoa Recipe, For Your Healthy Cooking Recipes!
This quinoa recipe is a great way to use this protein rich food that is comparable to salmon in protein content. It is my favorite among the cooked grains. Some people like to sprout it raw but I personally prefer it cooked.
It has a nice rich flavor and fluffy texture, but it not heavy and starchy like rice. It is one of those fast cooking grains that takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare, so it is convenient and easy to make at the last minute.
Quinoa (pronounced "keenwa"), is an ancient grain from South America. It is one of those great grains that is more alkaline, as far as grains go. As we mentioned it has a high amount of protein but is also exceptionally high in lysine, cystine and methionine-amino acids, typically low in other grains.
It is for sure one of my favorite choices for healthy cooking recipes! It is perfect for someone recovering from a yeast condition like candida because it is not acid forming to the body.
Quinoa Sushi Recipe:
This is one of my favorite ways to use quinoa in a recipe beside just eating it straight with a little olive oil and sea salt.
I might make a pot in the morning and let it cool until the evening when I want to make some sushi for a meal.

1C Quinoa
3C spring water
Soak and rinse quinoa for 1 hour.
Simmer with 3C water for 30 minutes or until done.

* 2T miso * 6T water * 1t toasted sesame seed oil * 1t grated ginger * 1 clove pressed garlic * 1/8t stevia * 1/2t kelp * 1t dulse flakes * Add more water or tamari if necessary
This is a nice quinoa recipe to enjoy on a hot summer day when you don't want to eat hot food but want some cooked grains.
Quinoa also makes a lovely salad ingredient. You can make a Quinoa Tabouleh salad or just at raw veggies and dressing to this versatile grain.
