Quinoa is a great ingredient to have in your food cupboard. It’s super healthy and high in protein so it is an excellent addition to loads of meals. It also has a unique flavor which loads of people love with a variety of dishes. If you’re looking for ways to include quinoa in your weekly meal plan, then here are three simple ideas.
Hearty Salad
Quinoa is the perfect base for a tasty and nutritious salad. It has a great texture which pairs well with so many foods. It also brings a delicious rich, nutty taste to any salad. A simple idea is topping cooked quinoa with roasted chickpeas, finely sliced onion, tomatoes, and avocado.
With Curry
Instead of the standard rice as a base for a tasty curry, why not try quinoa instead? It will soak up all the flavors the same as rice would but also bring its savory, nutty flavor to the meal.
Quinoa Burgers
Quinoa is a great texture to make burgers out of. The grains will stick together well, making for a juicy, dense bite. Simply mix cooked quinoa with finely sliced onion, garlic, red pepper, and zucchini. Roll the mixture into balls and then shallow fry them until crispy and well cooked.
