Quinoa Cooking Tips

Q How do you cook quinoa?

A Here are six steps to follow to make the perfect quinoa:

1. Use 1 cup quinoa to 1 1/4-1/2 cup of water. For best results, carefully rinse the quinoa, then in a cast-iron skillet dry roast until you smell a nutty aroma, about seven minutes.
2. In a small wide-mouth pot, bring water to a boil.
3. Add the quinoa, turn the flame down to a low simmer and place the lid on the pot.
4. In about 25 minutes the quinoa will be cooked perfectly.
5. Take a fork and fluff it while removing it from the pot into a bowl.
6. Very important not to over fluff the grain. Leave it alone and let it cool.
