But how to spice it up? Add some flavor? Make it
fun?
Here are two approaches. One sweet, one savory. It's
all about what you add in!
Sweet Quinoa Crunch:
First,
substitute Coconut water for regular water. Enjoy the richer texture
and potassium!
Add the following, to your taste, and to your
preference:
- Sliced Almonds and or Walnuts
- Sauteed Bell Peppers -
orange, red, yellow
- Touch of red wine vinegar or balsamic
vinegar
- Tablespoon of Blue Agave
- Raisins and or currants
-
Dash of Grand Marnier (or favorite sweet liquor)
- Coriander and
Rosemary
Savory Quinoa Crunch:
First substitute some or all vegetable broth
or chicken broth instead of water.
Add the following, as you like:
-
Sliced Almonds and or Cashews
- Sauteed mushrooms, and I mean really
sauteed, dark brown, with shallot/garlic
- Sliced kalamata olives
-
Sliced sun-dried tomatoes
- Thyme
Lemon Coconut Quinoa:
Start with regular water or Coconut water as your base, or
even a mixture.
The coconut flavor comes from adding a tablespoon of raw organic Coconut oil.
Add the juice of two or three whole meyer lemons.
Done. To add a surprise kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper.
This dish is very moist or even porridge-like. Refreshing!
