Quinoa is everywhere! If you haven't hopped aboard the quinoa train, get on now: it'll be a staple in your cooking once you get the formula down. Try substituting this basic quinoa for rice in stir fries or curries, adding it to salads, or topping it with chicken or salmon.

ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
directions
Bring the water to a boil in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Rinse the quinoa and drain well. Add to the saucepan and cook until the water returns to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. The quinoa will become transparent when fully cooked.
Use in any recipe calling for cooked quinoa or in place of cooked rice in a recipe.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

My mother had bought some bulk quinoa and gave me some. Of course, it didn't have cooking instructions so I wasn't even sure where to begin. Thank you for this easy explanation on how to cook it. I used it in another recipe that called for cooked quinoa (a vegetable salad)
Quinoa is not very tasty plain. I tried this recipe and I couldn't eat it. It needs some flavoring added. Not sure what to add exactly, but something has got to be added to make this edible. I'd like to try it again, but with some spices this time.

This is the basic recipe, a place to start, a chance to see what quinoa tastes like without add-ins. It's delicious, has a surprisely slight "crunch" in the middle of the grain. I add a little salt (but that's me) or olive oil to the cooking if I'm eating it plain like this.
