so i decided to cook last friday (yes, miracle happens, lol). i decided to try two things and it turned out good and yummy, so i thought i'd share with you. never be afraid to try new things !
the first recipe is from Marmiton.org, i love this site ( it's also translated in english, but not for all the recipes :/ ).
quinoa&vegetables
4 servings
cooking time :15 minutes
prep time :10 minutes
-1 glass of quinoa
-2 glasses of water
-1 red /green pepper
-1 tomatoe
-1/2 onion
-a dash of cumin (optional though)
-salt, pepper
-thyme
-2 tbsp olive oil
peel the tomatoe and cut it in pieces.
cut the red pepper and the onion in thin slices.
take a fryer, hot the oil and saute the vegetables. add salt, pepper, cumin.
add the quinoa and stir. add the water (to my liking 1 glass & 1/2 should be enough) and the thyme.
let it stew at low heat until all the water is absorbed. enjoy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
my own version of my mom's rice pudding recipe :
4 servings
prep&cooking time : 45 minutes
-200 g (8 oz) quinoa
-1/2 L soy milk
-4 tbsp sugar*
-1 pack vanilla sugar (optional) *
boil the quinoa for 5 minutes in a big saucepan (make sure it's covered by the water). rinse the quinoa and allow it to drain.
in a big saucepan, put the milk, the quinoa, the vanilla sugar. let it stew at medium/low heat half covered by a lid, until all the milk is absorbed (this can take some time).
allow it to cool down a bit before you add sugar.
you can either eat it hot or cold, both are delicious.
*vanilla sugar is pretty common here, i don't know if it is in the us.
if you want to make vanilla sugar, a simple way is to take your basic white sugar and put it in a box with one or two vanilla beans. (1 pack =8g/ 1&1/2 teaspoon).
if you don't have/want to use vanilla sugar, you can add more sugar, the original recipe contained 9 tbsp.
my mom and dad loved both recipes, and even my brother's been brave enough to taste it:rotfl:.
