I ended up looking up my other recipes to see how to prepare quinoa when after 10 minutes, nothing much had happened. The trick is to use about double the weight of the quinoa in water and chuck the whole lot in a pot and quietly simmer until the bits separate and you have a clearish quinoa and little white swirly things.Takes about 15-20 minutes. Then you can add everything else. I fried them in a simple butter sauce and I recommend getting them on the crispy side. Being a quinoa virgin I didn't know what to expect and I certainly didn't expect my kids [3 and 6 years] to enjoy this. But they did and so did I. It's a great grain with a different taste, and this is a very easy way to prepare it.
