Answer 1

I pretty much treat it like I do rice. What ever cooked rice recipes I have I substitute the cooked Quinoa. Luv it. It also is good mixed 1/2 & 1/2 with cooked brown rice as a breakfast cereal. I make up batches & divide up into single servings put in freezer..takes 2 mintues to reheat..

Answer 2

I like to make Quinoa Tabbouleh using Quinoa instead of Bulgur.
This is a good recipe.

Easy-just throw it in a pot with some water and let it boil, add some vegetables (whatever kind you like) and seasonings (also whatever kind you like) Be creative and imaginative. A recipe ought to fit what your tastes are. I throw in all kinds of vegetables and lots of spices-cumin, turmeric, oregano, cayenne, ginger, garlic...experiment
