I don't have any fancy recipes, but I just use it instead of rice when I am in a hurry for stir fry etc. It cooks in about 15 minutes or less, so a really fast option. I too would be interested in some more glamourous recipes...

Quinoa Tabouli

Great recipe in "No More Bull!" by Howard Lyman for Quinoa Tabouli.

Tabouli is usually made from bulgar so guess any other tabouli recipe from the internet or a cookbook will work if you swap the bulgar with quinoa.

By the way, before cooking: make sure you rinse the quinoa a few times to get rid of the bitter taste from the hulls.

Happy cookin'...

hey, i was thinking about making a quinoa tabouli (i love tabuloui almost as much as i love chickpeas). i found a recipe in one of my Sarah Kramer cookbooks and was curious if it would turn out as good as if i used bulger wheat.

The featured Quinoa Tabouli recipe in No More Bull is from CalciYum. My family doesn't care for quinoa much, but I don't mind it. Sometimes I add it to soups. We also use quinoa flakes as a sub for oatmeal in baked goods since we don't eat gluten.

Quinoa Tabouli

Quinoa Tabouli

4-6 servings

2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup dry)
3/4 cup chopped mint
1/2 cup diced seedless cucumber
2 cups finely chopped parsley
2 small tomatoes
3 green onion, chopped
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Rinse quinoa thoroughly. Bring 1 cup dry quinoa and 1 3/4 cups water to full boil over medium heat, cover, and reduce to simmer. Continue simmering for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and uncover. Allow to cool.

In a bowl, combine quinoa, mint, cucumber, parsley, tomatoes, and onions. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over salad; toss. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for 1 or more hours and serve cold.

(I skip the mint and parsley and just use one bunch finely chopped fresh cilantro. I add a bit more salt and oil, too.)
