Quinoa Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Rinse the Quinoa

Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water to remove any bitterness.

2

Cook the Quinoa

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, olive oil, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.

4

Fluff and Season

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork and season with black pepper and chopped parsley.

5

Serve

Serve as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
