Basic Quinoa

Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa

• 2 cups Water or Broth

• Pinch of Himalaya salt (or any sea salt )

Directions

1. Add the quinoa, the water or broth in a small saucepan over medium-heat and bring to a boil.

2. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the outer coat spirals off the quinoa.

NOTE

Quinoa must be washed before cooking to remove the saponin it contains, for this it is rinsed for a few seconds under a stream of cold water, we will see that it foams for that saponin.
