Notes
Simple Quinoa Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa (white or golden, red, or black) 1 tsp Olive oil (optional) 2 cups stock (vegetable or chicken) Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Measure out 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups stock. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Rub and swish the quinoa with your hand while rinsing Rinse for at least 2 minutes under the running water. Rinsing the quinoa well would remove the natural coating that usually makes the quinoa bitter. Drain the quinoa. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat and add the drained quinoa. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add in stock and salt. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, checking every now and then. After 15 minutes (the water would have all evaporated by now) turn off the heat and let the pot stand for 5 minutes, covered. Fluff the quinoa gently with a fork. Your quinoa is now done!
*1 cup of raw quinoa yields 3 cups of cooked quinoa
