Pretty sure this thread is closed guys..they made a guild for it though

The thread is still open for discussions. :]

I'm lazy and rarely check the guild nowadays.

We should probably really fire up the 102 course shouldn't we...

Definitely! Although some of the 101 recipes are already... very close to 102 level, to say the least. If you ever do get started on this project, tell me about it. I'd be glad to help in any way I can!

Delicious Quinoa Risotto

Appliances Needed: Stove with 2 Burners/Coils, 2 Pots
Difficulty Rating: stressed

Ingredients:
(Serves 1-2)
-1/4 cup of Quinoa rinsed
-600-700mL of LOW SODIUM chicken stock (vegetable can be substituted for a vegetarian version)
-2 Stalks of Celery Diced
-1/2-1 Small Onion Diced
-1-2 Cloves of Garlic Finely Chopped
-1-2tbsp Olive Oil
-2 Handfuls of Shredded Parmesan Cheese
-Salt/Pepper
-1/4 Cup Dry White Wine, Vermouth, Sherry, etc.

Method:

1 ) Prepare Ingredients (Wash Quinoa, Wash and Cut Vegetables and Garlic)
2 ) In one of the pots over medium-medium-low heat place olive oil in to pot and add onions.
3 ) Gently saute onions until they are translucent but not browned (5-10 min).
Meanwhile, place stock into a separate pot and bring to a simmer.
4 ) Once onions are cooked, add garlic and celery and saute (about 3-5 minutes).
5 ) Add quinoa to the oil and vegetables and saute (about 3-5 min).
6 ) Add alcohol to the quinoa, stirring at medium heat until the liquid disappears.

7 )Add a ladle (a bit less than 1/4 cup) of the simmering stock to the quinoa and stirring occasionally until it the liquid disappears.
8 )Once liquid has disappeared, add another ladle of stock, and repeat.

9 )When you start to get low on stock, begin to start tasting your Risotto, You'll know it's "done" when it has a soft-fluffy outside and just a hint of "bite" left in the center. (Don't worry, if it's done before you use up your stock, just stop. If you run out of stock, use boiling water.)
10 ) Once quinoa is "done" add stir in Parmesan Cheese and cook another 2-3 minutes.
11 ) Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

OPTIONAL: Add 1-2 tbsp of butter along with Parmesan, not the healthiest in the world but delicious none the less.

Notes:

-It is VERY important to use low sodium chicken stock, otherwise you'll end up with a ridiculously salty risotto as the Parmesan is quite salty to begin with.
-To make this more of a full meal, feel free to add cooked/frozen veggies, or even cooked chicken.
-This makes a good vegetarian dish, as quinoa contains a large amount of complete proteins.

Hope You Like It. =)
