One of the recipes people often search for on my site is quinoa. Quinoa [KEEN-wah] is a grain grown primarily for it’s seeds, which are high in protein and gluten free. Quinoa’s become popular because it’s a great substitute for pasta and rice.<\/p>\n
It’s also quick cooking, especially in the pressure cooker. You only need to pressure cook it for one minute and then let it steam for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Quinoa has a mild, nutty taste so it’s nice to flavor it while it’s cooking. We love my Saffron Almond Rice Pilaf<\/a> recipe so I used it as a base for creating a quinoa recipe.\u00a0Be sure and rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking it because it has a coating on the seed that can make it taste bitter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It makes a great side dish, or you could stir in some diced, cooked chicken and vegetables and make it a meal.<\/p>\n
