The addition of \u00bc cup cooked barley would also be a nice complement to any version.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mushrooms: <\/strong>Any kind of mushroom can be used here. I used white, crimini and shiitake. If the mushrooms are large, use a few less; if they are very small, use a few more. You can read more about mushroom types (with photos) in my Creamy Mushroom Soup post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raisin alternative: <\/strong>I know not everyone likes raisins in their stuffing, so feel free to leave them out or replace them with dried cranberries or cherries (diced first).

It is often used in place of other whole grains, such as rice or barley. I like it as a breakfast cereal instead of oatmeal. Quinoa is great because it takes less time to cook than other whole grains, just 15 to 20 minutes, compared to rice or barley at 45 minutes. Quinoa is gluten-free and high in protein, and was a staple food for thousands of years in the Andes region of South America.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/2012\/12\/12\/quinoa-holiday-dressing\/quinoatypes\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2764\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2764 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/QuinoaTypes.jpg\" alt=\"QuinoaTypes\" width=\"570\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/QuinoaTypes.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/QuinoaTypes-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quinoa makes an excellent whole-grain alternative to bread or rice in holiday dressing.
