Rinse the Quinoa under cold water
Step 2
Measure out 1 cup of Quinoa to 2 cups of water and place in a suacepan

Bring the Quinoa to the boil, turn it down and simmer gently for 10 – 15 minutes. If you like it crunchy then 10 minutes is long enough. If you like your quinoa soft and fluffy then simmer it for a longer time.
All the water should be absorbed while the quinoa is simmering.

Remove from the heat – your quinoa is now ready to serve as a substitute for rice with curry, or to include as part of a salad. There are many ways to include quinoa in your diet but you need to prepare quinoa first in this way.
