Quinoa Recipe

This is so good and I can't STOP eating it!!! It's so weird, I've never had a food I couldn't stop eating before but I literally ate the entire first batch I made in one day! Then I made another batch the next day and everytime I open the fridge I have to take it out and eat some! It's not my recipe, I got it off allrecipes.com, but I made a few changes. Hope someone likes it!

Quinoa Taboulleh

1 cup quinoa, rinsed well and drained

2 cups water

pinch of salt

1/2 large cucumber, peeled and diced small

1/2 large tomato, seeded and diced small

1/2 a bunch of parsley, chopped fine

1/3 of a red onion, diced small

1/2 a lemon, juiced

2 Tbsp olive oil

2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

salt, pepper and cumin to taste

Bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15-20 minutes until the little tail part separates from the rest. Remove from heat and let sit with lid on for 3 minutes. Place in large bowl and let cool. When cool, add all the veggies and toss. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in small bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Season with salt, pepper and cumin to taste. Now, let it SIT in the fridge, preferable overnight, as it tastes SO MUCH BETTER the next day!!!

Looks good!

I cook mine in Swanson's Chicken Broth (substituted from the water as directed) . With a little butter, it's a great side dish for anything.

This looks wonderful! Thank you for posting this--I've really missed Taboulleh!

I've been using quinoa flakes in couscous recipes, with great results--have you tried that?

No I haven't tried the flakes. I have just tried the regular, I have the white and the red, and I have made just white and a mix of each with this recipe. I really like quinoa! If it weren't for Celiac, I would have never tried it!

Thanks for posting this.

I just made it and it's great. I'm eating it for lunch with gluten-free felafel, hummus and flat bread as I type this.

I used vegetable stock instead of water and pretty much doubled all the ingredients except the quinoa. It worked out really well.

I love this type of food, grew up on it in Toronto Ontario. What brand of Falafel and hummous is gluten free? Where did you get gluten-free flatbread?

This is definitely a recipe I am going to try.

thanks for posting this, it got me inspired to get back in to quinoa!

I can't do onions and garlic but cooked up the quinoa in veggie stock, added fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, bocconcini and mint - it was delicious!

I made the hummus myself but most store bought dips seem to be gluten free.

I'm Australian so I suspect our brands are different to yours. Try healhfood stores for gluten free flat bread and felafal. Or maybe your local middle eastern grocery store.

I am going to try looking for hummus... can't handle lots of garlic. Fallafel mixes might be harder because this area may not carry them. We don't have any middle eastern stores that I am aware of. But I could do fallafel, hummus and Udi's bagels sliced thin and toasted crispy... Mmmmm

Try gogling a recipe for gluten free felafals. Cooking them from scratch takes more time but you can always make a big batch and freeze some uncooked ones.

If you can't handle garlic then you should make your own hommus. Garlic is a staple ingredient but you can always reduce or omit it. Hommus is really easy and fast to make.

HOMMUS

1 tin of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 tbsp tahini

2 tsp cumin (optional)

dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) or 1 tbsp of the minced bottled garlic

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 tsp salt

Mix the ingredients together and blend in a food processor or just mash 'em together. You'll need to add a bit of water until you get the desired consistency.

The hommus will keep for about five days in the fridge.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
