How to cook Quinoa

  First of all we need to keep proportion 1:1,5 (1 cup of Quinoa: 1,5 cup of water). In general you could cook Quinoa in any way: sweet, spicy, plain, with nuts, raisin etc.. I'll share with you the simple recipe which I use most of the time. 
   
 Ingredients: 
Quinoa - 1 cup
Water - 1,5 cup
Frozen green pees - 1/3 cup
Salt - 1/2 tea spoon
Chicken soup - 1 teaspoon

Direction:

 1. First you need to wash and soak Quinoa in water for 5-10 min. 
**The soaking is needed to break down the outer shell of the grains and prevent slightly bitter taste of it which may occur if soaking is skipped. 
 2. Bring water with green pees to boil and add Quinoa, salt and chicken soup in it. 

 3. Wait till water start to boil and keep it like this for 2-3 minutes, after this reduce fire to minimum. Cover the pot and let it stay like this (over a small fire) for 20 minutes.
 4. Switch off the fire and let it sit for 5 extra minutes covered. 
P.S. When Quinoa is ready you will see that it double its size and each grain have a little white tail:) That's the sign.. Ready!

Enjoy.

   Quinoa is a great addition to many dishes. Very healthy grain, which benefits I'll share in next post;)
