Malaysian Quinoa (Vegetarian)

Quinoa and soya chunks with satay sauce. You can vary how much water you use in the sauce depending on how wet or dry you like it. This is a great recipe for vegetarians who want a quick, tasty meal but have no fresh produce in the fridge!

Quinoa is a high-protein, good-for-you grain. It can be substituted for couscous and makes a lovely side dish. This recipe is a crunchy, lemony, healthy dish that can be used as a side or as a light meal.

Cheesy Quinoa Pilaf with Spinach

Rating: 4.5 stars 206
This creamy pilaf incorporates the fluffy, nutty-flavored grain, quinoa, with a decadent and delicious goat cheese gouda. This has an amazing flavor and texture. Try serving with steamed salmon. I think this would work well with pine nuts as well as a variety of other cheeses. Try regular goat, Parmesan, blue, etc.

Quinoa with Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli

Rating: 4.5 stars 30
The flavors of the broccoli and sweet potatoes compliment each other wonderfully in this recipe! I wasn't sure if steaming the sweet potatoes was necessary or not. It might be okay to skip that step. However, I wasn't sure if they would get tender enough by just cooking them in oil, so I went ahead and did it and it turned out great!

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Rating: 4.5 stars 976
This tabouli recipe is different. Instead of using bulgur like traditional tabouli, this recipe uses quinoa. It is a grain that is available at health food stores. It looks and tastes better than bulgur. My husband and I both love this and neither of us is vegetarian. It's a great meal for a hot summer day. The longer it sits the better it tastes.

Mexican Quinoa

Rating: 4.5 stars 176
This Mexican-style quinoa can be a healthier alternative to Mexican or Spanish rice. The gluten-free quinoa adds protein, fiber, and great taste while keeping all the flavor and spices of your usual Mexican or Spanish rice dish.
