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.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
