Note

Quinoa (lat.Chenopodium quinoa), quinoa (Quechua kinwa) is a pseudo-grain crop, an annual plant, a species of the genus Mar (Chenopodium) of the family Chenopodiaceae, growing on the slopes of the Andes in South America. Quinoa is of ancient origin and was one of the most important Indian foods. In the Inca civilization, quinoa was one of the three main types of food along with corn and potatoes. The Incas called it “the golden grain”. (from Wikipedia).

For more than a year I had a bag of quinoa lying around, and still I could not dare to cook it.
It took you a long time, but it turned out beautifully

And some have been eating quinoa for a long time. And they bake bread from her, and make muffins, and porridge and much more ...

Omela
Yeah, Gal, long time !!! Heard, heard about her for a long time, but was looking for something like that for myself!

Finally! How good it is not to rack your brains now!
The situation is similar - I'm shifting from place to place! Is an apple sour or sweet better?
Omela
Rada-dms, Thank you! : rose: The apple was sweet red, the child didn’t work, so I crumbled it, don’t throw it away when I’ve already eaten half of the salad. I liked the apple more.

I remembered the recipe I bought the quinoa for - for the cookies. Now I would still find that recipe.
Rada-dms
Omela, must be found! I already have two packs !!!
Omela
Yeah, I went to look.

Mistletochka, your quinoa salad is very good.
I love her, she is like a gargir, like a salad, a very tasty soup with quinoa, and in recent years I have been putting quinoa in borscht, it turns out very tasty.
And what is the composition of the soup?
lu_estrada
Radik, the soup is the simplest. without frying. I loaded any meat into pieces in a pressure cooker, onions and carrots, pound root and potatoes,
after the end of the program, I added 0.3 cups of washed quinoa several times, salt and spices to taste, let it boil and leave on the heat (until my husband returns for dinner.) I have not fryed soup and borscht for 40 years, I just add a piece of good butter for flavor. sprinkle with chopped herbs .. with cakes, fresh, light soup is very good.
hmmm, my husband is torturing Wait, - what are you writing there? - aa, I describe your quinwa soup, - ooooooo kinwasuuup, mm
Nothing special, but my husband loves, and I click on healthy cereals. I also add 0.3 cups of healthy cereal to the borscht., I like it so much - the golden boiled grains are so combined with the red borscht and cabbage ... mm Well, exactly, like in the Omelochkin salad.

Rada-dms
lu_estrada, tomorrow I'll try to cook like that! so deliciously told! Thank you!
Rada-dms
In short! Lyudochka and Mistletochka! Inspired! And then I was already ready to feed the birds! I will report!
lu_estrada
No, no, no birds! Although it is also necessary to feed the birds, but with simpler and cheaper cereals. You can read online how useful quinoa is, the richest cereal in the world in vitamins, minerals and protein, more usefulness than our Greek. Crack without oststrash, you will be satisfied with the taste and satiety. I have squirrels jumping over the fences, huge foxes also visit, wild geese cross the road and stop all movement, we feed slowly too.
Rada-dms
lu_estrada, I know about the usefulness, but I will not start cooking! I have troubles with cereals :) I'll get used to it!
Oh, how I like it when squirrels and foxes and all that - in childhood it was all, and in Southeast Asia too.
lu_estrada
adik, come to my facebook, there the other day I put one photo with a fox jumping over the fence in our garden
Rada-dms
lu_estrada, I haven't registered in blogs yet :) Later! And here you are in the topic about animals around us.
lu_estrada
No, I didn't, I don't even know what the topic is called, I need to talk to the girls
Omela
Lyudochka, thanks for the enlightenment! I liked the groats, I will cook.
Vera-Nica
the salad is wonderful, and I often cook quinoa, chicken soup with quinoa and mushrooms, I just fill the boiled porridge with fried onions with carrots and bell peppers or just with stew - it's delicious and doesn't get better since there are no carbohydrates
Omela
Vera-Nica, Thank you! I will continue to master quinoa.
