Method
Cooking the Quinoa
- 1
Rinse the Quinoa
Place the organic red and white quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water. This helps remove the natural coating (saponin) that can give quinoa a bitter taste.

Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 4 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Stir to combine.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water.

Garnish with Parsley
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and a pop of color.
