A quinoa dish I made using my
Quinoa (pronounced kee nwa) is a seed that you cook like a grain and can use in any way that you use rice. Unlike any other seed or grain, quinoa is a complete protein! Making quinoa on the stovetop can be hard. There are too many variables and if you cook it too long the whole pot is ruined! I use a rice maker to cook my quinoa with great results.
Instructions
1. Wash the quinoa before cooking. Place it in a bowl and cover . Drain into a strainer. Do this three times to make sure it is clean.
2. Place the quinoa in the rice maker with water. The water should be one and half times the amount of quinoa. For example: for one cup of quinoa you should add one and a half cups of water.
3. Turn on the and wait for it to cook. It should take around 20 minutes, depending on how much you make at a time.
4. For fluffier quinoa, place a towel over the and under the lid after it is done cooking. Let it set for five minutes.
