    I like to make too much quinoa so I can put a lot of it in the freezer for a later date. About 3 years ago my family bought me a Ninja Foodi for my birthday. I have cooked my quinoa in it since then. I like to put quinoa on my salads and I have added it to my protein smoothies. I also add it to my homemade vegetable soups. Thank you so much for your video's I binge watched them one day.

    Our favorite quinoa recipe calls for the quinoa to be toasted over medium heat until light brown and it begins to pop. At the end you add parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh mint and toasted pistachios. Yum!

    Great video! I once had this mix of quinoa, wheat, peas, broccoli, kale. They called it grains and greens, and it was one of the best lunches I ever had, felt like every bite was making my body happy. So I tried cooking quinoa and ended up making a bunch of mush

    Do you have an instant cooker? If so I do equal parts quinoa and water (Or broth), pressure cook for 1 minute then natural release 5-8 minutes. I do 5 if it’s going to be used in casserole etc.

    I freeze quinoa and pop it out when needed for whatever I need. I also make a casserole that my coworkers call quinoalada. Cook quinoa add enchilada sauce, put in sprayed casserole dish, add any of these, corn, black beans, bell pepper, canned tomatoes, chilis, black olives. If I’m doing it for a potluck I’ll add cooked ground beef at the first step, but I usually don’t have it. Then at the last step add cheddar or another cheese you would use for enchiladas. Bake at 350 with foil on, then take foil off last 15 minutes or so.
