I think I got this from the Eden Organics website, but I'm not sure. In any case, I love it, and it's very good as leftovers.

Quinoa Casserole
Serves 4

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 1/3 cups water
1-2 teaspoon hot pepper sesame oil (or plain with some Tabasco added)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 cup celery, chopped
2 cups broccoli, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped (or one can chopped tomato)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roast rinsed quinoa in a skillet until it pops--sometimes this just takes a few seconds, so watch it carefully.
2. Place in casserole dish and add water.
3. Heat oil and saute onions, garlic, and curry in skillet until onions are translucent.
4. Add celery, broccoli, and tomato; saute briefly and add to quinoa.
5. Add soy sauce and vinegar.
6. Cover casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.

**I've also just added up to a couple handfuls of leftover steamed veggies, just before I popped the whole into the oven, and it worked fine. Use what you have.

I asked this same question a while back on the recipe exchange forum. Here (if I'm doing it right) is the string.

I know I made one of these recipes but can't remember which one! Here are some from the GI diet cookbook:

You can use quinoa in almost any recipe that calls for rice. In fact, I like it better than rice in soups, because it holds it's shape a bit better and doesn't turn into a soup sponge.

Experiment with toasting it before cooking. Just saute it in a dry fry pan, stirring or shaking fairly regularly until it gives of a "toasty" aroma and has darkened just a bit. Don't wait 'til it turns brown, it will just taste burnt. Don't be alarmed if it pops a bit, like sesame seeds do when you toast them.

I like to cook a bit more quinoa than I need for any given recipe as it is great to sprinkle over salads, toss in with sauteed veggies or add to hot cereal. I knead it into bread dough and simmer it in marinara sauce along with eggplant and tofu to go on pasta or polenta.

Really, it is quite versatile and forgiving. Just play with it.

This one is yummy.

I love it as a grain & fruit dish. Very simple:

Cook 1-1/2 C. quinoa (after rinsing) with
2 C. water
1 20 oz can pineapple tidbits (or crushed) with own juice.
1/2 tsp. salt

for about 35 minutes (or until liquid is absorbed)

Stir in some almond butter before serving.

I like to use red quinoa in veggie wraps. Just put in the middle of your wrap with selected veggies and roll it up. I also like to use quinoa as a nest for a nice three bean veggie chili. Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson has some good chili recipes.

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
1 cup chopped onions
3 tablespoons tomato paste, no salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup diced organic celery
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup chopped filberts
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning
pinch of garlic powder
tomato sauce, no salt (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the quinoa and onion in two cups water and let simmer in a covered ot on a low flame for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, place the tomato paste, parsley, celery, peppers, nuts, and seasonings and mix well. Next, mix well with the quinoa/onion mixture and place in a glass loaf pan in the oven at 200 degrees for 30 minutes.

I made this over the weekend., First time cooking with Quinoa. It was really good! I used a cup of celery and no red pepper since I don't like cooked peppers.
