browning quinoa Shelly

[Guest guest]

You have to rinse quinoa very well so after I rinse it in the mesh strainer I

sit the strainer inside a bowl lined with a paper towel. Toss the quinoa a few

times so most of the water has been adsorbed. It doesn't have to be perfectly

dry but you will be surprise how fast it does dry since the grain isn't porous.

I have a heavy cast iron skillet and I get it heated over a medium high heat,

place the quinoa in the skillet and as I toss it with the spoon I turn the heat

up higher. Toast it until it pops and starts to brown, then transfer it to your

pan with water or broth and continue with your recipe. You will notice a

different flavor when it's cooked.

Happy Quinoa Cooking! Donna

Donna,

I read that you have to rinse quinoa really good to get the bitter

saponin off. How do you do that and also brown in a dry pan?
