We love leftover cooked quinoa. It is ideal in all sorts of skillet dishes. Our favorite is the most simple: I will soften diced onions in extra virgin olive oil (or unrefined coconut oil or red palm oil) in a cast iron skillet, then incorporate the leftover quinoa. Once it is all warm, I season the dish with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. How do you use leftover quinoa?

    We love quinoa and cook it about once a week. Generally I just saute a little garlic and then add the quinoa and a little water and let it steam the first time. Then we use it for taboulleh or as a base for various other cold salads (tossed with steamed beans, tomatoes and basil, etc). Basically we use it for salads, I guess. I like it plain with a little salt and pepper too!

    I like it sprinkled over any green salad. Although I certainly don’t make quinoa enough!

    I like it in the morning with a little Kala Namak (Indian black salt) and olive oil, it’s just like scrambled eggs.

    I also will toss in a sauteed onion, some mushrooms, cumin, garlic and a can of tomatoes and green chillies and sprinkle the whole thing with cheese. It’s like a Mexican style frittata.

    You also have to try Quick Quinoa Curry. If using leftovers, it is on the table in 20 minutes or less! Yum!
