How to cook Quinoa...


Quinoa is cooked just like rice. You want to rinse off the quinoa with cold water, then you want 1 part quinoa to 2 parts liquid. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 15-18minutes. Allow to sit covered for 5 min.


I prefer eating this dish more at room temperature or cold. That's why it makes a great salad. Add any vegetables... I like cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, asparagus ends and I love adding a little feta with an olive oil and vinegar base dressing. This dish is perfect to make ahead or take along when it's pot luck time.
