Very often friends asked me the same question, how I make a perfectly fluffy, not mushy, not bitter taste or soapy quinoa?
Here's how to cook great quinoa:
Quinoa has a natural coating,called saponin, which can make the cooked grain taste bitter. So rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear, drain and transfer to a medium saucepan with 1tsp of olive oil. Toast for 1-2 minutes until the quinoa is dry again. To cook 1 cup of quinoa add 2 cups water, add sea salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes . Uncover, if you keep the lid on the quinoa will be overcooked. Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
