Here is another grain recipe.

Low Fat Cooking

Recipe Feedback:

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

If you enjoy rice or couscous, then you should try quinoa, which makes a wonderful alternative to these grains. And if you suffer from wheat allergies or gluten-intolerance, then quinoa makes a nice change from rice, potatoes and corn. Always rinse quinoa before using, to get rid of its bitter coating.

Cook Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1/2 large red pepper, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed
  • 2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

Preparation:

Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté vegetables for 5 minutes. Add rinsed quinoa and toast for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

Serves 6
