    40 Vegetarian Quinoa Recipes

    40 Vegetarian Quinoa Recipes
    There are some foods that show up a lot in vegetarian cooking (hello, tofu!), and quinoa is definitely one of them. Although many people think that quinoa is a grain, it's actually a seed that's more closely related to beets and spinach than it is to wheat and other cereals. The reason it's so popular in vegetarian recipes probably has something to do with the fact that quinoa is high in protein. It also contains healthy amounts of fiber, magnesium, and iron. What's not to love, right?!

    I like cooking quinoa in vegetable broth to give it a little boost of flavor. The Kitchn has a helpful article about how to cook quinoa without having it end up sad and soggy, which is a good place to start if you've never cooked with it before. And once you've mastered that, here are 40 vegetarian quinoa recipes for you to try:

      I am just beginning to learn about quinoa. I've tried for several years to cook different recipes, but it's always boiled down to me not liking the taste. THANK YOU for these amazing recipes. Because of this wonderful list, I am truly enjoying quinoa.

        A lot of people don't like quinoa, but I think it's all about what you serve it with. And rinsing it well! 🙂 I'm glad you've been enjoying the recipes on the list!

      I made the greek quinoa salad from Style and Grace this week for some of my lunches and added a can of rinsed/drained chickpeas to that recipe for extra protein. It was so good! I plan on trying many of these other recipes too. Thanks for this list.
