Anybody know how to cook with this?

[Anonymous No.17306243]

Do you know any tasty recipes with quinoa? I got a big bag of it and want to learn some new recipes.

It's really good with lots of butter. Try cooking it in a rice cooker if you have one.(based)

>rice cooker
well that's good for just making it as a staple. so maybe I'll just serve chicken on it so >>17306256 will be happy.

thanks for the tip, I didn't know you could do that.

it looks like feed grain to me, that's why I suggested feeding it to a chicken you're going to eat when it's grown and fat.
can you make a porridge out of it? or something like a rice pudding?

It has a nuttier flavor to it than say rice and it is /fit/ staple food and I'm starting a cut soon. Always feel a lot fucking better when I'm eating it. I'm not good cooking with rice either. Trying to fix that. It does get mushy like a porridge or oats but cooked well timed it holds its texture more. I can make it basic bitch like boiling it but that's about it so far. Also it is flexible so it can be savory, tart, or sweet.

can you grind it into a flour and bake with it?
I know nothing about it honestly, other than it's hippy-esque air.

I usually just make it as a side. But one dish I make is, quinoa, ground turkey, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and jalapeños and mexican seasoning. Top with cheese and eat with home made tortilla chips. Kind of like a healthy Mexican dip

A lot of woo woos do eat it and it is also a vegan staple because they will die without it and a bunch of supplements to prevent anemia. But it is legit nutrient dense with an exceptional protein profile. You cook it more like oats or rice. I can do that part but I don't know how to make really great dishes is all.

Also it can be really really good, like wow that shit is incredible. Or it can be really really fucking bad. Like slimey, cold, and bitter. That's why I'm here instead of reading mommy blogs. I don't trust those salty bitches. They've lied to me in the past and I know they will do it again.

thanks. what's like some quick basic ways to make it that aren't just quinoa and salt?

[Anonymous No.17306454]

>>17306428
looking at the protein in it, you've got me interested in trying it too anon. I'm curious how a porridge would be. A savory porridge, with a meaty/gravy-ish flavor may be pretty based.

Yeah it's legit not a meme superfood. If you are into broteins then you know micros are a struggle. That's one of the reasons I want to bring this into my diet. I can drop a steak on top of it but I need more veg, fibers, and less shakes, cans of tuna, etc. I think this will help with that.

Also yoga chicks.

Is it similar to bulgar or couscous? You could make tabbouleh if it is, or like couscous
>boil water, add chicken powder (Osem consomme or similar), add butter
>put couscous in, stir, shut off heat and cover
>wait 5 mins, drizzle olive oil and fluff it up

[Anonymous No.17306762]

I've actually never cooked with bulgar or couscous. I'm going to give both of those a try as well now, thanks. I've never made tabbouleh but I really need to try more Mediterranean / Levant salads. Man I love dolmas.

For quinoa you can do that and it is tasty but I prefer plain rice and maybe couscous. Quinoa, for me, needs about four or five ingredients to start. I think I'm struggling because I do not make many salads like these and I prefer warm savory dishes.

Quinoa comes out great in a rice cooker as well. You'll need to play around with the water to amaranth ratio a bit, but with quinoa I was able to delicious, fluffy quinoa, which is so much better than the wet porridge like consistency you get from stove top cooking.

Onions, tuna, some soy sauce, maybe a bit of carrots, maybe peas

[Anonymous No.17306888]

>>17306779
What about making dishes instead of plain? I am not sure how to get something really good out of a rice cooker unless I cook it separately. Or maybe that is just what I should be doing.

[Anonymous No.17306929]

>>17306888
You can definitely toss stuff in there like garlic cloves, butter, sliced onion, tomato, broth. Just make sure you keep the total liquid ratio the same.

A nice one might be to saute onions + chopped mushrooms in butter until the mushrooms are nicely browned. Add to uncooked amaranth in rice cooker. Possibly with some shredded cheddar as well. As the amaranth cooks It will all melt, cook, and infuse really nicely.

I usually go with Buddha bowl, easy and quick to put together and you can use whatever toppings and dressing you want. Mexican style is probably my favourite - black beans, avocado, red onions, capsicum and whatever else you have in the fridge, top it with chipotle sauce. Can't beat that shit.

Probably wise for me to learn how to make these. I can do a lot more with the technique and ingredients.

yeah. i cook it the same way, no issues here. i like it a bit overcooked and soft, some assholes claim its better 'al dente' but theyre liars.

Try boiling in chicken stock. Or eating cold with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and Italian dressing.
