Quinoa Bulk Products

I tried something new tonight - I cooked quinoa in vegetable broth. Near the end I mixed in Earth Balance’s “Natural Buttery Spread” product, which I’ve found to be an excellent substitute for butter in dairy-free cooking. The result had a flavor a bit like sweet potatoes and a bit like carrots, but of course with quinoa’s nutritional advantage over most starch vegetables.

The broth I employed for the task was Pacific Natural Foods’ “Organic Vegetable Broth“, which comes in convenient 8 ounce containers. When cooking was done, there was a residue of vegetable paste on the top of the quinoa. I added about a teaspoon full of the “Natural Buttery Spread” and mixed the contents of the saucepan.

I ate the quinoa with rockfish and broccoli. All in all, a very satisfying meal. And though I still prefer quinoa prepared with chicken broth, those of you who are vegetarians should find this combination very satisfying.
