Vegan Quinoa Recipe - Healthy Vegan Recipes On Video

Recipe: www.HealthyVeganRecipes.net/video/vegan-quinoa-recipe
This vegan quinoa recipe features quinoa, a lovely grain with a unique nutty taste and a good protein profile with all the essential amino acids. If the flavor of garlic is too strong for you raw, try roasting it before using it in healthy vegan recipes. This sauce is nice with either raw or roasted garlic, so try it both ways!

again, I love your nutritional info you ad in your vids(this time about the garlic). Do you have to heat the sauce before you pour it on? You look really healthy by the way.

@fmbighair I didn't heat the sauce, but you definitely can if you like. It's also nice if you roast the garlic before adding it to the sauce - it'll make a softer garlic flavor :)

@healthyvegan oh, so I also notice that you didn't cook the squash before you blended it?I was surprised, thats kinda different.Again, great info your giving.Up until now I never understood the point of a garlic press, I always just minced it with a chef's knife. But you mentioned that you used the press to avoid larger clumps of garlic, now I get it. I'm guessing a garlic press will add way more flavor to a dish because it disperses/spreads the galic out farther since its in smaller pieces?

[healthyvegan]

@fmbighair yeah, I did this recipe raw - although it would also be nice with sauteed zucchini and garlic if you like. Exactly right on the press - garlic flavor spreads through the dish rather than giving little bits of garlic intensity. Again, if you like a softer garlic try roasting or sauteeing it before adding it to the sauce

If you roast quinoa do you still rinse it after?

[healthyvegan]

@PLASTICPOPCORN4 no, no need :)

your videos make me hungryyyyyyy!

@healthyvegan ok, I figured it was a sort of raw vegan thing, I'm eager to try it cuz I haven't really tried making any real raw vegan recipes! But I also can see how you added sauteing as an option before the blender, almost sort of like baba ganoj type of deal. Ok, I just told my friend at work about your vid with the press and how it avoids big clumps, now I understand what this tool is for. I make guac all the time, I bet it would also be useful for that as well. thanks again :)

@freakinawesomeguy32 quinoa, and any grain, won't have much taste on its own - that's why you have to mix it with lots of veggies & a nice sauce ;) as for the dryness, you may be over-cooking it. Use a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa, bring to a boil with a pinch of salt, then turn down to low and simmer with a tight-fitting lid - usually takes 25-30 min. hope it works out next time :)

i'm having trouble cooking quinoa.. mine comes out dry and it doesn't have a taste.... :[

@lizsy775 well, you can definitely sprout quinoa (as well as other seeds, grains and beans/legumes), but as for growing a plant from it - that's not my area of knowledge :) in theory, I imagine you could, but you'd need soil and I'm not sure what kind of yield you would get for a certain area of land.
