Basic Quinoa to Go With Curries
Ingredients:
quinoa, uncooked
oil, olive, salad or cooking
spices, cardamom
Directions:
For those who are just getting started in how to cook with quinoa-- quinoa naturally comes with a bitter exterior called saponin.
You NEED to properly rinse it before cooking with it!
Don't give me a low score for bitter taste because you have to rinse it well first!
Put the quinoa in a deep bowl and pour cold water over it.
With a fork or whisk, stir it heavily for a couple minutes until a soapy residue is floating to the top.
Strain it through a fine-mesh colander and rinse it under the tap again.
Now your quinoa's ready for cooking!
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add a little salt so the quinoa doesn't stick to the bottom.
Add the olive oil and cardamom to the boiled water and let it impart for a few seconds.
Add the rinsed quinoa and lower the heat to medium.
Loosely cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the quinoa pieces have fluffed out.
Remove from the heat and let it stand for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
