HOW TO COOK QUINOA
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 ¾ cups water or broth (vegetable or chicken)
• Pinch of salt (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Rinse the Quinoa: Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse it thoroughly under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This removes the saponin, which can give quinoa a bitter taste.
• Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water or broth, and salt (if using).
• Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The quinoa is done when the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender.
• Rest: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the quinoa to steam and become fluffy.
• Fluff and Serve: Use a fork to fluff the cooked quinoa before serving.
