Here is a procedure that will ensure that your quinoa turns out perfectly every time. This recipe calls for one cup of quinoa, but you can use any amount—just use one part quinoa to one and a half parts liquid. Use the liquid that best suits your dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (170 g) quinoa
  • 1½ cups (375 ml<

Method

  1. If you are working with unrinsed quinoa, start off by soaking it. You can soak it for an hour or more without a negative impact, but 15 minutes will do the trick. After soaking, transfer the quinoa to a strainer and rinse.
  2. Pour the quinoa into a saucepan and add the liquid, bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 to 35 minutes.
