Quinoa Coconut Sticky Rice - It's a delicious combination of Quinoa and Coconut with a "sticky rice" consistency. Delicious and perfect quick side dish to any meal.

Quinoa Coconut Sticky Rice

I know the title of this recipe sounds confusing since there’s actually no “rice” in here. The Quinoa replaces the rice and creates this wonderful texture and flavor. If you’re looking for a quick and exotic side dish for dinner, then give this one a try.

Lately I’ve been posting tons of Quinoa Recipes on the site, from side dish to entrees, but I am not stopping, there’s a few more on my mind that I am crossing my fingers will work. That’s typical of me, when I grab a new ingredient I try to transform it in any way I can. My kitchen is my lab and Quinoa is definitely my experiment.

Being Venezuelan, I grew up eating coconut rice. It didn’t necessarily have the “sticky” rice texture but it had tremendous flavor. When I came to the states I tried this new consistency and loved it. I wondered what happened to Quinoa when you add a bit more liquid that it need to absorb, and the results were wonderful. The coconut flavor is very predominant and combined with the thick texture and the ginger I add at the beginning, it’s now my favorite side dish.

My friend was telling me a new technique with the coconut, that you burn it a bit at the beginning and then add the rice when it turns brown. I’ve never tried it before but I am willing to give it a shot. I’ll let you know the results soon.

If you’re hosting a dinner party or a pot luck, consider taking a batch ofĀ Quinoa Coconut Sticky Rice. Your guests will love it! It’s packed with flavor and it’s something different that I am sure they’ve never tried before (unless they are fans of this blogĀ ).

So what do you think about this recipe?
