Look at the photo on this page! This is my own grown quinoa on my little plot in England. I am so chuffed about the succes of this project I can’t tell you. Last year I attempted to grow my own quinoa and I got a few seedlings. They then just withered away to nothing. For 2009 I have had great success due to doing things in a better way.

There is more than one way to cook an egg and in the same way there is more than one way to cook quinoa. Many quinoa recipes have instructions on how to prepare your quinoa before cooking it in a recipe. This preparation of the quinoa before including it in a recipe is very common. Not all quinoa recipes demand it however.

Having mastered the art of cooking quinoa I am now trying to grow my own quinoa in my home garden. I found some quinoa seeds for sale online that are suitable for growing in cooler climates. So last weekend I took a tray with 24 growing pods in it and filled it with multipurpose compost. I then put 2 seeds in each pod and lightly covered them with some more compost. Having watered them I left them on the shelf in my conservatory.

This recipe is taken from The Complete Guide To Cooking Quinoa. Actually it is a variation on the Cajun Stir Fry recipe. I have taken out the dried spices and herbs and replaced them with fresh basil, chilli pepper and coriander leaves. I am using fresh flavourings increasingly this year for 2 reasons. Firstly They taste better than the dried counterparts.
Secondly They are better for you as most of the healthy vitamins and minerals are still in the fresh herbs.
