These are great cooking directions. I never rinse it first and it has never
been bitter.

Subject: [CnD] Basic Quinoa
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
