INGREDIENTS
- Quinoa
INSTRUCTIONS
Soak quinoa in cool water for 5 minutes. Rinse in a sieve until water until water runs clear.
Place in a pan over medium-high heat and toast until it smells nutty and is slightly darker in color. If quinoa is wet, it may take 10-15 minutes. Toasting makes the quinoa more flavorful.
Important: For every cup of quinoa, use 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups of liquid (pre-soaked quinoa may need even less liquid).
Add the liquid, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to
low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. The seed will be translucent and the germ is a thin white circle around it. If there's water in the pan, you can drain it or leave it cook, uncovered, until the water boils off.
With the quinoa on the pan, lay a clean dish towel close to the surface of the grains, put a lid in the pot and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Done!
