How to Cook Quinoa

cup quinoa

water

olive oil

In a large fine-mesh colander, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold running water for 1 minute (this helps to remove the bitter taste in quinoa). Drain well. 

In a medium cooking pot, add the rinsed and drained quinoa, water, and olive oil. Bring to boil over medium heat, about 5 minutes.

Cover with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the quinoa simmer for 15 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and allow the cooked quinoa rest for another 5 minutes. (You will notice that the grains have popped open).
