      The Quinoa Cookbook - David Ortner

      1. Meet Quinoa, Superfood

      QUINOA (PRONOUNCED KEEN-wah) is the ultimate superfood, Delicious, easy to prepare, versatile, and filling, it swoops in to save us from obesity, disease, and nutritional deficiencies. Although considered by many to be a grain, it’s actually a seed from a vegetable similar to beets, spinach, and Swiss chard, making it gluten free and Paleo-friendly.

      This totally natural, whole food is low calorie, low fat, and high protein. In fact, a 2009 University of Chile study found that quinoa contains more than double the protein content as most grains and that quinoa contains a complete amino acid profile, which provides the body with all of the nine building blocks it requires for producing all-important protein. Another study found that quinoa has the ability to lower blood pressure levels in those who suffer from hypertension. Yet another study found that quinoa is an effective and all-natural appetite suppressant due to its high protein and low calorie content. And quinoa has been shown to be an excellent source of antioxidants, like free phenols, which destroy toxic free radicals in the bloodstream. As a result, eating this superfood can help decrease your risk of cancer and even slow down the aging process, on top of its weight loss and nutritional benefits. Incredible!

      And, fortunately for all of us, this superhero of the food world is as easy to integrate into our diets as it is healthy. It’s not just for salads and side dishes. It is a delicious component in dozens of breads, casseroles, meat dishes, snacks, soups and stews, even desserts. In the following chapters, you’ll find some practical hints to make your quinoa prep easy-breezy, along with several dozen of my favorite quinoa recipes. I hope you find that these recipes help make your meals a little healthier and even more delicious with this wonder-food.

      2. The Many Ways to Cook Quinoa

      I REMEMBER A TIME, not all that long ago, when quinoa was difficult to find in any grocery store other than a health food store. Fortunately, it’s widely available these days, thanks in large part to the fact that its superfood status and delicate texture have made it a popular substitute for starchier carbs like pasta and rice. Here are my favorite tips for how to cook delicate, tasty, and perfectly fluffy quinoa.

      Be Sure To Rinse

      QUINOA HAS A BITTER coating that will need to be rinsed away in order to achieve the best results. Nothing bad will happen if you forget to rinse—it’ll just taste a little strange. When you rinse, use a fine-mesh strainer so that the tiny quinoa seeds don’t filter through.

      Consider Toasting Before Cooking

      TOASTING THE QUINOA before cooking it brings out some of its delicious nutty flavor. To toast, drizzle some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and cook for about 1 minute. Then proceed to prepare the quinoa as usual.

      Drain After Cooking

      QUINOA HANGS ON TIGHT to water, so you’ll want to drain it before incorporating it (in its cooked version) into a dish or recipe; otherwise the recipe may become more watery than you’d intended.

      Let It Rest

      AFTER YOU DRAIN THE quinoa, let it rest in the same pan or in a bowl for 15 minutes before serving or using it in
