Recipe Notes
This is a super simple recipe, but don’t let that deceive you. Most of the time the most simple dishes are the most sublime and this is one of them. The quinoa has a nice nutty flavor and if you like cheese grits, this is sort of like that but with so much more depth of flavor. You can serve this with any recipe that you would grits. A poached egg on top is especially delicious, but as a side dish for an omelet or scrambled eggs it’s perfect. Instead of Barbecue Shrimp and Grits use this Cheese Quinoa recipe. Yum!
Of course you could take this in so many directions. A bit of roasted garlic, some caramelized onions or a few sprigs of fresh rosemary is a bit like gilding the lily but go on and do it anyway.
