Classic Quinoa

Directions

Wash hands well with soap and warm water.

Place quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse until water runs clear.

Heat water or broth in a medium saucepan until boiling.

Reduce heat to low, stir in quinoa and salt if using.

Cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and remove pot from the stove. Let stand, covered for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the quinoa gently with a fork.

Serve hot, or cool and refrigerate. Use within one week.
