I like quinoa but find many people's versions are very bland.<br /><br />By the way, as a seed researcher, I feel I should go all geeky and point out that your comment about 'seeds' vs 'grains' is kind of incorrect. In botany a 'grain' in strictly from the true grass family. But in agriculture, a 'grain' is any seed that can be dried and used as a food stuff, e.g. wheat, corn, peas, rice etc. It's just like many people think they are being d-bags when they spew the annoying 'tomatoes are fruit, not vegetables'. In actual fact, 'vegetable' is a culinary term only. There is no such thing as a 'vegetable' in botany. Peppers are also 'fruit' if you want to be a real d-bag!<br /><br />And now you can amaze and bore your friends!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141138725244310186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-5356683343351195092014-06-18T16:55:19.508-04:002014-06-18T16:55:19.508-04:00Tried the recipe, very good indeed.

It turned out very nicely, and we liked it, obviously, or else we wouldn't be trying it again! The only thing we did differently the first time was to cook the quinoa well in advance so that we could refrigerate it before using.<br /><br />This time I'm going to try and make it a bit more like jambalaya and use kielbasa instead of ham, throw in a jalapeno, and if I can figure out an appropriate substitute, swap out the soy sauce(maybe a splash of chicken stock and a tablespoon of tomato paste). <br /><br />In actuality, what I _really_ want to make is the cajun ragout recipe you just posted, but I haven't sold that one to my wife yet.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for another great recipe Chef John!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-16610817104655912432012-11-04T19:45:48.063-05:002012-11-04T19:45:48.063-05:00Try it in TabolehTry it in TabolehLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740837517859589695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-52824982025955854022012-10-21T14:29:10.420-04:002012-10-21T14:29:10.420-04:00I love you, man!

I use 1 cup quinoa, and toast the seeds in the dry pot---this seems to minimize that funky grassy taste. After adding 2 cups of water, cover and bring it to a full rolling boil for 5 minutes. Then take it off the heat for 12 minutes, still covered. Remove the lid, drape a tea towel over the pot, and replace the lid for another 5 minutes. This last steaming step really ensures a lovely fluffy texture.

Use a grain/water ratio of 1:2 and half a teaspoon of salt. It comes out beautifully fluffy, and it looks beautiful. The rice also takes away some of the "grassy" flavour of the quinoa (you know what I mean, it smells a bit odd).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286712491154691872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21035815638220167182012-07-31T22:09:52.956-04:002012-07-31T22:09:52.956-04:00I thought you pronounced quinoa 'Kwee-noah'...I thought you pronounced quinoa 'Kwee-noah'.<br /><br />It's such a shame that there's absolutely no market for a lot of things in the Netherlands which (seemingly) every supermarket in the US carries.
