Basic Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups cold water
Optional: 1/4 tsp salt
Quinoa Cooking Directions:
You'll need a 2 quart pot with a tight fitting lid, and a fine mesh strainer
Double the recipe if you want to have leftover quinoa for another meal
or two Optional:
Soak the quinoa for 5 min in the cooking pot. Soaking helps quinoa to
cook evenly, and loosens up any residue of saponin (usually removed in
processing), which can give a bitter taste Most quinoa sold in the US
these days has been cleaned, and steamed to remove the saponin, so
don't worry about that overly much
To Rinse: Stir the quinoa with your hand, and carefully pour off the
rinsing water, using a fine mesh strainer at the last Drain quinoa well
in the strainer, transfer to the cooking pot, add 1 1/2 cups water &
1/2 tsp salt if desired Bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting
lid, and turn the heat down to simmer Cook for 15 minutes Remove quinoa
from heat and allow to sit five minutes with the lid on Fluff quinoa
gently with a fork and serve
