Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quinoa
- 2 ¾ cups water or broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
- Take the quinoa and rinse it under cold water for a few minutes. You’re rinsing off the saponin, which takes the bitterness out of the quinoa. Then pour it into boiling water and add the salt.
- Turn the heat down to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and is cooked through. You’ll know it’s done when the germ has separated from the seed.
- Remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, covered.
- Remove the lid from the saucepan and fluff it up using a fork. Serve with the flavorings of your choice.
