Curried Quinoa Recipe makes a quick, delicious meal.
This Curried Quinoa is a scrumptiously flavorful vegan dish. Whenever I bring food anywhere to share, I try to bring food that everyone can and will eat. That can be challenging since there are always several vegetarians, a couple of people who are allergic to gluten, and a diabetic. Always remember that people who are truly allergic to gluten (celiac disease) can only eat grains that are not only naturally gluten-free, but they also have to be processed carefully in a facility that is gluten-free. Otherwise, cross contamination can occur. The box of quinoa should say “gluten free” or “processed in a gluten-free facility.”
This Curried Quinoa recipe, originally taken from the Moosewood Restaurant New Classics and modified a bit, is always a hit at potlucks.
