If you are not familiar with the super-grain, quinoa, you need to be! Pronounced KEEN-wah: Quinoa is easy to digest, is packed with nutrients and has a more impressive protein profile than that of wheat. In it's natural state, quinoa is bitter as natures way of providing it with a built-in insect repellant. This is easily remedied by a good, thorough washing. You may rinse the quinoa in a fine meshed strainer and it will be ready to use.
Ingredients
| 3 | cups chicken stock |
| 1 1/2 | c quinoa, rinsed and drained |
Bring chicken stock to a boil (or you can use water) in saucepan. Add quinoa. Return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 15 minutes. FLuff with a fork. If there is any excess liquid remaining, drain it off. Your quinoa is ready to use in your favorite recipes!
