Basic Quinoa

I often make quinoa to serve with the entrees I make for dinner yet it only recently occurred to me to share the recipe on here. Quinoa is healthy and tasty. It's also quicker to make than rice, and works as well with many dishes. I also make quinoa as an entree similar to a rice pilaf.




Basic Quinoa

1 cup quinoa
2 cups stock*


Place quinoa in a medium saucepan. Pour stock over the quinoa.

Bring to a boil. Turn down heat to a simmer.

Let cook until the water is absorbed, approximately 15-20 minutes. The quinoa will expand in size and appear to have little rings in it.**

Turn off heat.

Gently spoon into bowl or bowls.

Serve.

* You could also make this with water, but stock adds a greater depth of flavor.

**Some recipes call for fluffing the grains with a fork; however, I've never found it made that big of a difference. You can if you want though.

Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.
