How many different types of animal fat can I be cooking quinoa in?
I’ve now done chicken fat, bacon fat, and brown onion gravy. I need to do beef dripping and lamb fat but tonight I did pork spare rib fat. As I’m writing this I’m trying to digest what I’ve eaten and I’m feeling very full and it feels like I can feel the lipid globules form in my blood. I know that if I drew blood from myself now and let it stand for an hour I’d have a lipæmic layer develop very easily.
So I bought four pork spare ribs and roasted them. In the base of the baking tray I added some quinoa and water. I knew the quinoa would absorb the water and the fat and juices dripping from the pork
- Pork spare ribs
- Quinoa
- Coleslaw stuff for making coleslaw
- In the base of a baking tray about ⅓ cup of quinoa and ⅔ cup of water
- Add the pork spare ribs and sit them on top of a rack in the baking tray
- Put the tray into an oven at 150 °C for 60 minutes
- When the pork is ready place on a plate and rest for 20 minutes
- While the meat is resting spoon out the fat infused quinoa which is now nice and plump
- Mix the quinoa with the coleslaw and pile onto a plate
- Place the ribs on the pile of fatty quinoa coleslaw
- Shoot a photograph
- Eat the meal
- Struggle to digest while washing the dishes and writing the recipe
- Blog (verb)

There’s an old French proverb which says: It’s good because it’s FAT! Every one will enjoy at home per sure!
Sounds like a marvellous proverb. I’m grateful to the French for it and to you for sharing it with me 🙂
This post was just what I needed to read. Step #10 on the recipe made me laugh so loud that I scared my sleeping dog! ha ha ha 😀
Hehe, thanks. I like to write my recipes with a little humour 🙂 Sometimes it’s a little dark 😀
omg yummmmm, not sure it’s very lovennourish but looks delicious!!!
Hehe, possibly more love than nourish 😀
I’m still feeling full 🙂
Oh Gary you are too funny! I do love the flavour of pork and bacon fat though so I understand your urge to cook quinoa in it!
Thanks Lorraine. I’m really enjoying the whole quinoa thing. I hope other blokes who live on their own aren’t frightened of it and can see from my experience that quinoa can be loved by blokes 😀
