A recipe for how to cook quinoa as a grain
Author: Julie Perks Registered Dietitian
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
Method
- Rinse Quinoa well - helps to remove bitter aftertaste once cooked.
- Boil water and add 1 cup of quinoa, cover, and turn down the heat to low.
- After about 15 minutes, lift up the cover and stir. You'll know it's done when the grain turns slightly transparent, and the curly string-like germ has separated from the circular part (about 20 minutes total).
- Drain and rinse if necessary Allow to stand for 5 minutes and fluff up with a fork.
