Recipe: Quinoa with grilled vegetables and fresh herbs
Is quinoa new to you?
Posted — UpdatedWe are honest-to-goodness carbivores in my house. Bread. Pasta. Rice. We devour them all.
We are particularly partial to breads from all over the world: naan, pita, paratha, Nan-e Afghani, injera. If there's a carb to be had, we're having it. I don't much like South Beach, the Miami hot spot or the diet. I'm Indian so there's no way this girl's gonna live without rice. I've been dabbling in new grains to expand our standby repertoire. Couscous is an easy crowd pleaser, though it's a veritable mess under the table after that meal. Thankfully our new dog, Lark, does help suck that up with his drooling oral vacuum. I also add barley to soups and have some Israeli couscous on hand to try out.
My latest star at the dinner table is quinoa. Say it with me: kee-NO-wah.
The boys devoured it. From what I could tell between mouthfuls of exuberant mmmms..... I think they liked it. Mac Daddy has already packed up the leftovers to take to work for lunch tomorrow.
