Also, you can dry fry the quinoa before using it. Wait until it's actually beginning to smell like burnt popcorn, then cook it like rice.
When I make Quinoa, I typically just add vegetables. So I add onions and spices as it's being cooked with water, and in another pan I fry up whatever other veg I want - chickpeas, carrots, zucchini/courgette, pepper, tomatoes, whatever. Maybe add an egg. Mix the cooked quinoa into the stirfry and enjoy.
You can also make awesome quinoa cookies using this recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Quinoa- . I've used a variety of flours, depending on which diet I was on at the time and/or which flour I had on hand, and they've always turned out great! The original recipe tastes like a halva cookie. The first time I made them, my 6 year old picky-eating neighbor was my "official taste tester". She showed her approval by asking, "Can I have another?" and then "Can you give my mother this recipe?"Tahini-Cookies- 159837

Hey Dvorah, check your box of quinoa. Does it say 'prewashed' on it anywhere? If it doesn't, then the quinoa needs to be washed carefully before it is cooked, otherwise it'll have a bitter taste.

Hi- I'm new here. I am sixteen and began a gluten free diet about a year ago. I am still learning to experiment with foods, and was wondering if anyone had a good recipe for quinoa? It has a bitter taste, and no matter what herbs i mix in, it just doesn't taste right!
