| | I don't like squash/zucchini/courgette at all. I always buy it because it's good for me. But I do not like it. Similarly, I have had a bad experience - okay, not bad (sorry, Jude!) but not, like, awesome - with quinoa.
In such a situation, you would think I would not want to cook a recipe made up of quinoa + courgette/zucchini, right? Wrong. Because I am an optimist, and I think, "Hey, I bet this time, I will REALLY LOVE IT." And I think this tendency is accelerating because I used to only think that about squash once a year, and learn from the bad experience. But now this is happening about once a month. Soon I will be eating food I dislike once a week. ONCE A DAY.
So, last night, I cooked this quinoa + zucchini recipe, which you can find here. My quinoa was kind of "instant," so I didn't toast it or soak it, but I basically did the recipe, except with less quinoa and more zucchini (I know, I'm a freak), and plus cumin + chili peppers + chili powder, and without the cheese, and it is delicious. Seriously. I want to keep eating it. I think it is the fresh coriander, which makes everything taste like coriander, and the garlic, which has a similar effect. Still, it's healthy, right? And I'm not hating it, which is good because there is a LOT.
