Steps
- 1Rinse quinoa in a bowl or a very fine sieve.
- 2In a medium size pot add the quinoa and the oil. Set the heat to medium high. Toast the quinoa for about 2 minutes.
- 3Raise the heat to high and add the water and salt.
- 4Allow it to come to a boil without the top on. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Once the water is bubbling place the lid on the top.
- 5Keep the heat on high for 1 minute then turn the heat down to low. Cook for 12-15 minutes.
- 6Fluff with a fork. The quinoa will open up but still have a nice texture.
- 7Taste for salt and add more if needed.
