Quinoa has been gaining popularity over recent years for its grain-like quality and high protein value. It is quite simple to make, and can be prepared like a couscous or rice recipe. Stir-frying quinoa is the ultimate way to add tons of flavor quickly.

We asked two top kosher chefs to share their favorite way to prepare quinoa. Chef Yosef Schwartz of Hassid+Hipster, based in South Florida, shared a new technique in prepping quinoa. Chef David Kolotkin of The Prime Grill shared a savory quinoa pancake.

Vote and Win: Email [email protected] or comment below to tell us your favorite quinoa recipe and vote to crown a winning chef of the Kosher Chef War: Quinoa Style.  One winner will receive a $50 product pack prize from Eden Foods.

You can also submit your own quinoa recipe here and it could be published in a special online post!

Recipe #1:

Tomato Soup with Toasted Red Quinoa created by Chef Yosef Schwartz of Hassid+Hipster.

Born in Brooklyn and now doing pop-ups in Miami, LA, and Jerusalem. Hassid+Hipster strives to bring the best in kosher dining to cities around the world using both local talent and ingredients.
