weird - I just posted a thread in Subs about quinoa before I saw this. I started a quinoa thread months ago that got lots of people into it.
I have it for breakfast with chopped spinach and olive oil. I haven't tried it like this yet, as I'm not a sweets-in-the-morning kind of gal -but I might do it just for fun! Btw - if you do 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa, there will be no need to drain it. All water will be absorbed. I'd be concerned about draining away nutrients... And I have to tell you - I haven't had quinoa for 2 weeeks as I've been trying to do a carb-free diet. And in the last week I've had WICKED alcohol cravings, and have become "depressed." I'll never give up my beloved quinoa ever again!!!

MYown--You're the one! I love the taste and texture of quinoa. Thanks for the info on draining it. I was too lazy to measure anything out!! I've looked up all kinds of recipes, and now I gotta go buy some more. Now that I know I like it, I might order it from Amazon.

Quinoa question:
What is the easiest way to rinse the quinoa prior to cooking? It is too small for a strainer. I have just been putting it in the measuring cup and then running water over it and draining it through my fingers but I lose a lot of it and there must be a better way. Thanks

I put in a big bowl and pour water in the bowl and swirl it around with my fingers and then drain it and repeat until the water is clear. It is okay if you don't get every bit of water off of it, but if you want to drain you need a fine mesh strainer, not a regular strainer.

I put a cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and run water over it for about a minute.
There are also 'no need to rinse' quinoas out there too, but I ain't goin for it.

I haven't had quinoa for 2 weeeks as I've been trying to do a carb-free diet.
I don't think complex carbs are an issue. It things like sugar a high fructose corn syrup that give carbs a bad reputation.

Hi Everyone.
RJ actually warns AGAINST a carb free diet (like Atkins). You don't get any B vitamins which are essential to mood (and other health). It's the simple carbs that pose a problem. Anything with a high "glycemic index". Haven't tried quinoa. I'm fascinated. Will buy some tomorrow.
