Health Highlights
Fluffy and nutty seeds steamed to delicious perfection.

Ingredients


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

Instructions


1. Place quinoa into a bowl and cover with water. Allow to sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing, or agitate grains with your hands and rinse immediately using a strainer to not lose the grains down the drain.

2. Add quinoa and water to large pot with a lid.

3. Bring water to a boil and add salt.

4. When water returns to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer on low, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa becomes a translucent color, about 15 minutes.

5. Remove pot from heat, cover, and allow to steam the rest of the way to perfection, about 10–15 minutes.
