Basic Cooking Recipe:

Always rinse quinoa in fresh,
clean water and thoroughly drain
before cooking.
Use 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water
to make 3 cups of cooked quinoa
(always follow this proportion
of 1:2).
Place quinoa and water in a
saucepan, add tsp salt if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat
to simmer; cover and cook until
all of the water is absorbed (12 to
15 minutes).
Unlike rice, you can stir quinoa a
few times to prevent burning. The
quinoa is done when it turns from
white to transparent and the
germ has spiraled out of the grain.
