Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa any variety
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa under running water in a fine-meshed strainer. Transfer to a small or medium sauce pan with a lid.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups vegetable stock or water and bring to a boil (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. You’ll know it is done when the quinoa grows tiny little tails and all of the water is absorbed.
