Four things I have learned about cooking quinoa: always rinse it first (even if the package/box states it is pre-rinsed), toast the grain first, salt sufficiently, and use broth or stock. That's what I did. I toasted the quinoa in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cooked 15 minutes then set aside for about 10 minutes. Perfect! Made for CQ 2014.

Debbwl... I took your advice and made dibs Recipe #16399 and then followed your instructions exactly. I then used your recipe to make my Recipe #518104. It worked wonderfully. Great flavor and texture. Thank you for posting something so simple that I can't botch it up! Made for Culinary Quest 2014 / Suitcase Gourmets

This is the perfect quinoa recipe! The recipe to toast it, which I first tried some time ago at Deb's suggestion, was what got me to try this seed again - and now I'm totally hooked! Deb's recipe makes it come out perfect, and look, Mom, no watching, either! For this recipe, I used red, white, and black quinoa. How pretty! Thanks for a real winner!
