Quinoa was something I knew nothing about but I have been told to increase my son's intake of this grain to increase his protein. I found this recipe and enjoy it for myself as well.
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
Warm a saucepan over medium heat then add quinoa to toast, stirring constantly until golden. About 4 min. Add water and boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside to steep until quinoa is soft and water is absorbed, another 15 min. Let cool and serve to baby or transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. What ever you have for left over, mix a little olive oil, garlic, carrots and parmesan cheese for yourself. Yumm
These are great also as a toddler snack. Just toast and then let them eat as finger foods. Please be careful if your child is still prone to chocking.
