Sharon Z Quinoa

[Guest guest]

Tell me what you didn't like about quinoa? Was it bitter? If so you didn't

rinse it enough. Try this. Rinse the quinoa and leave in the mesh sieve to

drain. Heat up a skillet with no oil and roast the quinoa before you cook it,

the quinoa will put up a roasted nutty flavor. Try it again this way and let me

know what you think of it. It's like raw sesame seeds vs the roasted ones. Big

difference once roasted.

Happy Cooking,

Donna

Protected by the silver spoon;

But now she sucks her thumb and wanders;

By the banks of her own lagoon.

Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see?

No, it wasn't bitter. I did rinse it (thankfully the recipe told me to

or I might not have). I didn't like it's texture. It's almost like

chewing poppy seeds. But poppy seeds with a softer center. I'm going

to give it some time, though, and I will try your technique. That stuff

is full of protein, so maybe I'll develop a taste for it. In this

recipe they are cooked in vegie broth, so the taste is altered from

their regular taste and it wasn't particularly nutty.

 

Funny side note. My kids hate quinoa, which their dad has prepared for

them. So they weren't happy to see it in the grocery bag. Though my

11-year-old taught me how to properly say it - she enjoyed that. All

these years I've been saying kwin-O-ah, cause that's how it's spelled!

My daughter informed me that it's KEEN-wah. I now say it properly, but

in my head it's still kwin-O-ah. :-)
