Sometimes, when you're making Mel's Favorite Chili or a BBQ pork roast, you get a hankering for something bread-like to alternate bites with. In the past, my daughters almost always made cornbread to go with chili (a go-to supper Actress often made when she wanted to give her mom a break).
A few nights ago, I made a pork roast. To my delight, I had found a pretty clean BBQ sauce at Sprouts, and I wanted to give it a try. But what about side dishes? Yes, I could make traditional cornbread for the non-paleo eaters (chiefly, our kids -- especially our pre-teen son who can put away a LOT of food!), but I wanted to be able to eat everything at the table. I hate feeling deprived. So I started looking for a basic recipe I could modify. I combined the ideas from two different recipes and came up with this one. Our boys (one a staunch quinoa-hater!) gave this their enthusiastic seal of approval!
To make quinoa flour, toast the quinoa in the oven ahead of time (10-12 minutes at 350F), then grind in a coffee grinder. It doesn't take very long.
