Report
Very basic and easy way to cook quinoa or quinua
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of oil or butter
- 2 tablespoon of minced onion
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 cup quinoa washed and rinsed or use pre-washed quinoa
- 2 cups of lightly salted water or broth
Instructions
- Melt the butter on medium heat in a saucepan.
- Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the quinoa and stir until the quinoa grains are coated with oil.
- Add the lightly salted water or broth.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water has evaporated and quinoa is tender.
- Use a fork to fluff the quinoa and transfer it to a bowl. You can serve it warm, or use it in a variety of dishes from salads to soups, or use it to replace rice in classic dishes like arroz con pollo (chicken rice) or arroz marinero (seafood rice).
Notes
- I sometimes also add a tablespoon of butter on top at the end and just let it melt into the quinoa.
