Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
- Combine the rinsed quinoa and water or broth in the rice cooker. Using broth will add more flavor, especially if you have a specific dish in mind.
- If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mixture, then close the lid and set the rice cooker to the standard white rice cooking setting.
- Allow the rice cooker to work its magic, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
- After the cooking cycle is complete, let the quinoa sit for a few minutes, then fluff it gently with a fork to separate the grains.
- Serve the quinoa as a nutritious side dish or use it as a base for salads and bowls. DEVOUR!
