Quinoa for Breakfast - Quinoa for Dinner


Recipe by William Sebrans,
OtherWise Coach,
while in his chef hat.


Simple, versatile, fast, healthy, non-glutenous, tasty - unless you don't like it.

Quinoa is supposedly the most protein-rich grain, which is especially remarkable since it is not actually a grain. What is it? We forget. But it looks like one, tastes like one, cooks like one, mixes like one.

The Aztecs were supposedly big on it. And look - they transcended almost without a trace.

Morning

2 Cups Water
1 Cup Quinoa
1Tbs Ghee. (Ghee is clarified butter used in Indian cooking and Auyervedic practice. It does not need to be refrigerated as it has the milk solids deleted. It tastes like buttered popcorn without the popcorn.)

Boil 15-20 minutes. That simple.

Cook it with tofu, if you like.
Sprinkle on some coconut and add a little chopped cilantro. Yes, it works.

Major downsides: It's so easy to prepare, you're liable to burn the stuff while you're off doing other terribly important things. It's so tasty, you're liable to heap on the ghee and coconut and pretend it's party time.

Evening

Basically the same....Just add organic frozen peas (if you're really in a hurry) and/or carrots, and/or chopped swiss chard. With tofu - it's protein rich. Non-wheat, -filling and fun.
