Tips for preparing the quinoa
To prepare the quinoa, rinse it well in a fine mesh colander and let all of the water drain.
Add the rinsed quinoa to a pot and add double the amount of purified water or veggie stock, minus two tablespoons since there is liquid in the rinsed quinoa. (For example, 1 cup dry quinoa needs 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons of liquid.)
Bring the pot to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for about 12- 15 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed and the little 'tail' of the quinoa has sprouted out.
Fluff with a fork and reserve for your recipe.
