Perfect, Fluffy Quinoa

Ingredients:
quinoa, uncooked
oil, olive, salad or cooking
water, bottled, generic
salt, table

Directions:
Rinse the quinoa under cold water for about 1 minute.
Drain well and put quinoa in a medium saucepan.
Stir in the olive oil and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the remaining water is evaporated and the quinoa is slightly toasted.
Stir in the water and salt, and increase the heat to high.
After the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
Gently simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
There may still be some water not yet absorbed.
Remove from heat.
Keeping the pan covered, let it stand for 5 minutes, or until the remaining water is absorbed.
Remove the lid and gently fluff the quinoa.
