Tips & Tricks

Wash the quinoa under running water. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a pan. Then add the quinoa and cook until the kernels have popped open, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain, and set aside for later.

If you want to give your dish a special touch, add 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
