Ingredients

1	cup	quinoa
2	cups	water

Directions

Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a small strainer or by running fresh water over the quinoa in a pot. Drain. Put quinoa and water in 1 1/2 quart saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook until all water is absorbed (10-15 minutes). When done, the grain appears translucent and the germ ring will be visible.

Reviews

Quinoa usually takes me 20-30 minutes to cook through when these proportions are used. Also, use a bit of consomme powder as seasoning and it's even tastier.
