Bon appetite!
How to cook quinoa:
Rinse 1 cup dried quinoa under cold tap in a sieve to remove its natural coating which may give it a bitter taste. Add 1.5 cup boiling water to quinoa in a medium saucepan (optional, add ½ tsp veg bouillon to boiling water for extra flavour). Allow boiling water to just cover the quinoa. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer until most of water has been absorbed (approx. 10 mins). At this point you can add spices/herbs for more flavour. I love to add 1tsp turmeric, parsley and 1tsp coconut oil. Once all the water has been absorbed and you can fluff with a fork, your quinoa is ready to serve.
