I bought a huge bag of quinoa on sale and it just sits in my pantry

I thought I'd use it for everything, but I lost about $12 and a bunch of cabinet space because I don't actually like cooking it. Anyone have good recipes to make this stuff taste better?

Oh man, the "thought I'd use it for everything" part is so real. I was in the same spot. The trick is to treat it like rice but rinse it really well first (that bitter coating is the worst). I mix it into soups and chili at the end, it soaks up the flavor. Or cook a batch with broth instead of water, then fry it with an egg and soy sauce for a quick fried rice thing. It's way better as a background player.

Honestly, I started throwing a handful into meatloaf or meatball mix. It soaks up the fat and keeps things from getting too greasy, you barely notice it's there.
