Preparation of Quinoa

Rinse and Cook Quinoa
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove its bitter coating. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
