DA - "How to" Make Quinoa
Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
2 cup Water
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions


1. Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve until water runs clear. Then drain and transfer to a medium pot. 

 

2. Add 2 cups of water and slat and bring to a boil. 

 

3. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. 

 

4. Set aside away from heat for about 5 minutes. 

 

5. Uncover and fluff with a fork.

 

6. This will make 3 cups of Quinoa

Notes:

**Quinoa naturally has a protective coating, called saponins, that easily rinse off.

However, if not rinsed, will be bitter and my cause an upset stomach.

**If you toasted quinoa in a skillet with a little olive oil over low heat for a few minutes before adding to the boiling water,

it will have an even tastier, nutty flavor!
