Friday, February 3, 2006 - Something New for Dinner |
Our new food this week: quinoa! I found some organic quinoa at Trader
Joe's a few weeks ago and decided to try it. The box says it's
pronounced keen-wah. I thought it was kwin-oah. Whatever.
Quinoa (however you say it), is originally from South America, and is
not technically a grain, but a fruit (weird, it seems pretty grainy to
me!). I cooked ours in some good chicken broth and added some onions,
garlic, and green pepper. It tasted like the fried rice you get at
Chinese restaurants. Pretty good! I liked it, my husband liked it. My
kids...well, they'll get used to it if we have it once in a while (you
know the story).  We ate it as a side with meatloaf.
I think I'll put quinoa on my shopping list again.

| I never realized quinoa was a fruit; thanks for that information. I'm enjoying your blog almost as much as you're enjoying your goats. |
