Quinoa is one of my favorite things to eat lately. I would make it every day, except Rafael might get tired of it. :) It's delicious and I love how it pops when you eat it. It's also very healthy. I made green
quinoa last week using the green rice recipe from my
Frida's Fiestas book. I started with puree-
ing poblano peppers with some water. I DID NOT expect it to look like this:
I drained the weird foamy stuff and it got a little more normal. Next I sauteed the
quinoa with some onion and butter. The recipe says to soak the rice first but I don't have a strainer so I didn't.
Next I added the pureed peppers (not pictured) and let it cook for a few minutes. Then I added chicken broth, lime juice, and cilantro:
Here is the finished green
quinoa:
I thought it was delicious and I want to make it again. I think I'm also going to try it with
Frida's white and red rice recipes too. I want to think of more ideas of how to make
quinoa. Maybe a sesame or
miso version? I've even heard of breakfast
quinoa with raisins and nuts, but I'm not so sure about that yet.

That looks delicious. Your poblano puree is funny. It looks like it really filled up the cuisenart.
wow Katie that´s looks so yummy! and I know It´s quinoa, but I think it´s very nice to eat healthy food. I tasted brownie made with quinoa...was amazing!
Wow, that looks so good. I want to eat it. I can't believe the weird foamy stuff! By the way, my word verification for this comment is quinora ... weird, right? Or does blogger base the word verification on the post now?
I've never had green quinoa, I should try it.
