Join the discussionThis sounds so very good. But I’m not a big fan of mushrooms. Do you think I could substitute carrots or tomatoes or something else for them? What would you suggest?
I think, really, that you could put just about any vegetable you like in this roasted vegetable blend. Something that might go well, if you like it, would be eggplant. If you don’t, try corn or even tomatoes in your version.
This sounds awesome and I even have all the ingredients. However, I’ve never cooked quinoa. Is it like rice?
It’s pretty simple, much like rice, yes. You boil water, put in the quinoa, simmer it and then let it stand. After it soaks in the remaining water, you fluff it with a fork and serve.
Is the water/quinoa ratio the same as rice? 2:1?
Water to quinoa is 2:1, yes (2 cups water to 1 cup quinoa). Brands and types sometimes vary a tad, so be sure to check your package instructions. Also, it cooks up to about 3 times its original size (1 cup dry will make about 3 cups cooked).
I love quinoa! I use it in place of rice when I run out. I have even made rice pudding using the quinoa and it was so good. Will be trying this recipe soon.
What was different for the freezing instructions for this? At what stage did you freeze and how did you thaw/recook? Thanks!
You basically cook it as you would if you were serving it, allow it to cool, then freeze it.
