QUINOA WITH MANGO AND CURRIED YOGURT
A four fork recipe from Gourmet Magazine, May 2003 I have posted as the recipe was written, but I only used one cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water, and cooked in the microwave as I do white rice (5 minutes on high, 12 minutes on 50% power, stand time of 10 minutes, then fluff gently with chopsticks or a fork). Stove top or rice cooker would work well also. I think with adding a dressing, steaming is unnecessary. I did use mangoes, and loved the taste, but one reviewer suggested substituting apples, cashews and raisins, and I think that might be interesting too when mangoes are unavailable.

CURRIED QUINOA SALAD WITH YOGURT-CUMIN DRESSING
This is a "flexitarian" recipe - meaning, it's readily adaptable to a vegetarian/non-vegetarian version - a boon for those who have to deal with both in a household. While this recipe is vegetarian, the author, Dawn Jackson Blatner, says 4 ozs of cooked salmon or tuna can be used instead of the chickpeas. Check your quinoa package for prep information - usually quinoa needs to be washed to get rid of a bitter coating, although it sometimes comes pre-washed.
