If you like rice, you will probably also like quinoa. It is a seed, instead of a grain that is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. It is very easy to cook. If you have an instant pot, it just got even easier!
Cooking Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
Pinch of Himalayan salt
Directions:
1. Rinse quinoa and drain.*
2. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil.
3. Add a pinch of salt.
4. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
5. Turn off heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
6. Fluff with a fork and serve.
Note: You can add seasoning to the water like Bill's Best Chik'nish or use vegetable broth. For a sweet breakfast you can use orange juice instead of water, add a little honey and sprinkle with toasted nuts. Yum!
Always Rinse Quinoa, although highly nutritious, is actually coated with the toxic chemical saponin; you must rinse the quinoa thoroughly. Saponins can be challenging to the immune system and stomach. Commercial processing methods remove much of the bitter soapy saponins coating quinoa seeds, but it is best to rinse again to remove any of the powdery saponins that may remain on the seeds.
