Description
Quinoa is an easy to make, versatile, filling grain that is also protein rich.
Instructions
- Bring the water or stock and quinoa and salt to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover.
- Simmer for 20 minutes, remove cover and use a fork to look at the bottom of the pan to see if the liquid has been absorbed. If there is still liquid, place the cover back on and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- If the liquid is absorbed, place cover back on the pan. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, fluff with a fork, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve!
Notes
You can see the “ring” around the outside of the quinoa grains when they are ready. Quinoa keeps a slight al dente feel, it doesn’t get mushy.
