If you don’t have quinoa on your menu every single week, you are really missing out on a delicious (and super easy) meal starter/side dish.

I typically have RiceSelect Quinoa on my menu at least once each week. Sometimes I include in a recipe and then other times I serve simply with a little garlic and butter. It’s amazing as a stuffing and even great in place of oatmeal in the morning. I guess it’s the versatility that makes quinoa a winner in my book.

Ok…well the versatility AND the taste.

One of my family’s favorite dishes is my Tri-Color Quinoa with Grilled Vegetables and Feta. It’s probably one of the most popular sides that I make. Jim will request this dish quite often. And what is so funny to me is that my husband does not eat asparagus…EXCEPT in this recipe. He didn’t even know it was in it the first time I made it. The combination of the nutty quinoa with the charred veggies and that salty feta is such an amazing combination.

I usually make it as a side dish but I have tossed in grilled chicken and made it the main dish.

Quinoa is technically not a grain but a gluten-free seed; it’s used, however, in the same way as other whole grains. It’s also called a pseudo-cereal in that it’s grain-like but actually not a grass-like wheat.

I love it for how easy it is to prepare. Just add 1 part of your preferred RiceSelect® quinoa to 2 parts liquid (water or chicken broth). Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. From there you can use it in tons of delicious meals and recipes.

Once you start using quinoa, you’ll always want to have it on hand. Like rice, quinoa is a staple in my pantry!
