Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
