Take your dining menu to the next level by exploring quinoa dishes! Quinoa is a versatile dish and can be used in any meal throughout the day. For example, it can be used as a warm breakfast option for those who prefer to go gluten-free, a hearty dish packed full of energizing protein for your work lunch, or as a great side dish with dinner. Here are just a couple quinoa recipes you can quickly make in your commercial microwave to delight your guests:

Cinnamon Maple Breakfast Quinoa

A healthy and gluten-free recipe that will keep your guests full until lunchtime! To create this dish quickly, you will first need to gather all the ingredients: 1/2 cup of rinsed and drained quinoa, 1 cup of cold water, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (add on a little more for garnish later on), 2 teaspoons of butter, milk or cream to taste, maple syrup to taste and a handful of banana slices. First, add your rinsed and drained quinoa into a microwave-safe dish, stirring in 1 cup of cold water, cinnamon, and butter. Place the dish into your commercial microwave oven and microwave for 4 minutes. * Then stir and microwave again for 3 more minutes. Carefully remove the dish, cover it with foil and let it sit for 2 minutes. After, fluff the quinoa using a fork and stir in the remaining butter. Finally, top with milk, maple syrup, banana slices and cinnamon to taste.

*Note: all cook times are based on a 1000-watt microwave. Higher wattage microwaves will require less cook time.
