Nice looking meal. Quinoa is a wonderful choice and very high in fiber.

Bob, until now, I've never HEARD of quinoa. Did you find it at Rouses? The meal looks delicious.

bobbyb · July 2011

Found it at our local health food store. Betsy went on a mission to find it at the regular food stores, but no luck.

Grillin Guy · July 2011

Angel just said that's something she'd like to try. I'll see if I can find it in Gulfport.

If you can't find it let me know, I'll bring you some on Friday. BTW, I got rouses to cut the rib end chops about 1-3/4" thick. They were the bomb.

Quinoa (keen-wah) is really good. It makes a nice addition to salads, etc. We use it fairly regularly due to a Vegetabletarian within the family. (My brother married one.....)

Your meal looks really good!

Awesome, Bobby. I saved that recipe. Thanks !

Love the quinoa. I almost did that today also. Looks tasty Bob!

From the looks of all the color and texture, I thought the pork chop recipe was going to have a lot more ingredients. I like how straight forward this recipe is, nice job.

I'm still getting used to quinoa. The red quinoa was a little "too grainy" for me but I like the lighter colors like the one you used.

Thanks Rod.

Good to hear from you Clark.

Thanks Molly.

Hi Chris, Yes it had a very nutty flavor, which I quite liked.

Here is another quinoa recipe I came up with
1 cup quinoa
1 pint vegetable broth(I got mine at Whole Foods)
1 can rotel tomatos with chiles
1 can water
salt
two hand fulls sharp cheddar cheese added in near the end
I've also added a can of pinto beans and some chopped onion at times.

Not cooked on the egg but great as a side dish.

It's sold at Five Seasons in Ocean Springs in the bulk bins. It's also sold at Sunshine and they have more than one store. I once saw it at Walmart but not everyone of them.

bobbyb · July 2011

Thanks for this. I'll give it a go.

I about fell out when I bought it. Pound for pound, its the price of steak!

Gulfcoastguy · July 2011

Yes but steak doesn't swell up to 4 times it's size when cooked. Should have been less than $5 per pound.

Howdy, Stranger!
