Plain Quinoa Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in melted butter until just browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour chicken broth into the saucepan; add quinoa and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat and rest mixture 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water to a boil in 2 quart sauce pan.
• Add 1 cup Toasted Quinoa and return to boil, cover and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until Quinoa has absorbed all the water.
• Remove from heat and fluff, cover and let stand for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Set quinoa in a bowl of cold water and wash it by rubbing it between your hands. Drain and repeat the process until the water is clear.
• Transfer the rinsed quinoa to a saucepan and cover with water and some salt. Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat and boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until all the grains are translucent. Take care not to overcook. Drain the quinoa immediately but do not cool under cold water or the grain will be waterlogged. If not eating right away, transfer the quinoa to a cloth lined baking pan and fluff up with two forks to help cool the grain a little faster.

Steps:

• Wash the quinoa with water, using a strainer. Same as you would wash rice.
• Place quinoa and water in a 1 1/2 quart/ medium sized saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes).
• You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
