Quinoa Pilaf
Check out the nutritional information and the title of the book it came
from. My nutritional information follows, and it sounds more realistic. I sure hope the error is a typo by the original poster and not what the book actually says. * Exported from MasterCook * Quinoa Pilaf Recipe By : Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Vegetarian Grains Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 c Quinoa -- * 2 c Chicken broth 1 tb butter 1 lg Onion -- chopped 2 cl Garlic -- chopped 1/2 ts Lemon zest -- grated 1/2 tb dried thyme 2 tb Italian parsley Salt and pepper to taste *Pronounced Keen-wa, quinoa is a mild-flavored grain that was eaten by the Incas. It is now grown in Colorado and New Mexico and is available in natural food stores...it is a very high and complete protein. Rinse quinoa in a strainer and remove any debris. Place in a large non-stick saucepan and toast, until it darkens slightly. Add broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes until tender. In another skillet, heat butter; add onion and garlic and cook tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in quinoa, lemon zest, thyme parsley, salt and pepper to taste.

"Vicki Beausoleil" > wrote in message ... <snip> I just made a quinoa pilaf using different ingredients due to my daughters food allergies. And I think mine would have less carbs per serving. As best I can figure, 3/4 cup of plain cooked quinoa has about 30 g of carb (not subtracting the fiber). I cooked my quinoa then added it to a mix of sweet peppers, carrots, celery and green onion that had been chopped or diced and caramelized in some olive oil. I also added fresh Italian type herbs from my garden. And I added some fresh green peas at the last minute. It was very yummy! -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |
