<75451.2725@CompuServe.COM> Andy Levy-Stevenson asked for recipes
which use Quinoa. The following, which I have NOT tested, comes from
500 Fat Free Recipes: A Complete Guide to Reducing the Fat in Your Diet
1. Heat 1/4 cup of the broth or water in a heavy saucepan over
medium heat. Add garlic and scallions. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
Add more liquid during this process if necessary.
2. Add green pepper and mushrooms and saute for 5 more minutes.
3. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups broth and bring to a boil. Stir in
cayenne, quinoa, and tomatoes. Return to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover
and simmer for 30 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add parsley and serve. Yields: 4 Servings
After typing in the recipe I read the nutritional analysis. It says
there are 188 calories per serving, and 5 grams of fat. That works
out to 45 calories from fat, or abou 25%. I don't see where that fat
could come from other than the quinoa itself. Maybe there was
supposed to be a decimal point in front of the 5. According to
Mastercook, Quinoa has 13.7% CFF. FATFREE DIGEST V96 #113 From the
Fatfree Vegetarian recipe list. Downloaded from Glens MM Recipe
