I cooked with this the other night - its fantastic! subs perfectly for couscous, will probably try it instead of rice some time soon. Big quinoa fan all the sudden here.

Neither have I. I'd like to, but I don't think I can find it around here. I'll get around to it eventually.

I do like quinoa as well. It is a nice change from rice and couscous every one and a while. I actually have been buying pasta that is made from quinoa and it is pretty good. I think I like it more than whole grain pasta because it's not as gritty.

I have been getting some good whole grain pasta lately. Can't recall the brand at the moment, seems I got it at Wal Mart, but it was pretty good stuff.

The only quinoa I could find in my grocery store was bulk in the health foods aisle. So I have over a pound of it. How do I cook it?

I usually soak it in water for 20-30 min and stir it. Drain it and put 1 and 1/2 cups water for every 1 cup of quinoa. Bring to a boil, cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork like you do with couscous. It is fine plain but there are some good recipes out there that make it really good.

RJ, Thanks! And this is healthy, low GI, stuff?

I sometimes mix this stuff in with my pasta - just for an added difference in texture. Keeping things mixed up and eating a variety of foods helps me sustain a decent diet.

its totally whole-grain - as in, you're actually cooking the grain, itself. :)
