Here is another yummy quinoa recipe for all you quinoa crack heads out there. I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of this stuff. I am beginning to think quinoa should be sold by the ounce on a street corner. Seriously, quinoa is so addicting. It’s all I think about lately.
Recipe – Quinoa with Dried Cranberries and Toasted Pecans
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup cranberries, chopped
1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Rinse the quinioa.
- Place the quinoa and chicken broth in a rice cooker and cook {I use the white rice option on my rice cooker}.
- While the quinoa is cooking, use a stir fry pan to heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
- Toss the chopped pecans and garlic into the pan and toast {about 1 minute}. Set aside.
- Once the quinoa is finished cooking, add the chopped cranberries plus the pecan and garlic mixture.
- Serve warm.

I will have to try this. Neither hubby or I seem to care for the quinoa recipes that I have tried so far (haven’t tried any of your recipes yet). Right now that bag from Costco seems way larger than we will ever use! I really want to like quinoa.

Can anyone tell me what quinoa tastes like? I’m thinking because I like couscous I’ll probably like quinoa – – similar?
Mavis says
LaToya, if you like couscous, you’ll like quinoa. Try it. 🙂

Do you think you could just use water instead of broth?
