QUINOA

(The Basic Recipe)

This light and wholesome grain may be prepared quickly and easily

with thhis basic method.

 

2 cups water

1 cup quinoa

 

Rinse quinoa, either by using a mesh strainer or by running fresh

water over the quinoa in a pot. Drain excess water. Place quinoa and

water in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a

simmer, cover, and cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 15

minutes). You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains

have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has

separated. Makes 3 cups.
