A few weeks ago I made red
quinoa using the Red Rice recipes from my
Frida's Fiestas book. I think the picture in the book is really cool. I still haven't tried the white rice recipe.

I started by making a puree of the tomato, onion, and garlic. This puree wasn't as weird as the
poblano puree, but it was still a little odd. It smelled delicious.

Next I sauteed the
quinoa in a dry pot for a few minutes.
Quinoa looks much different before and after it's cooked. I added the puree and cooked everything for a few minutes.


Next I added chicken broth, celery, and lime juice and let it cook for 20 minutes.

Here is the finished red
quinoa:

I forgot to take a picture of it on my plate. I think I was hungry. :) I really liked how the red
quinoa came out but I think the recipe might be better with rice. Maybe I'll try that next time!

Oh, that looks so good. I like your blue flower-shaped measuring cup. We should definitely make the Mexican flag of rice (or quinoa) sometime. Maybe for a party!
I reall like the Quinoa! I'm so glad you are started making it now. =)
Umm - looks delicious!
