Quinoa is quite simple to prepare. The tasty Inca grain may be used in a variety of recipes and can be made quickly.

Why not switch things up a little and serve quinoa instead of rice or bulgur as a side dish? We show you how to prepare quinoa!

Cooking Quinoa: Preparation

• Rinse quinoa thoroughly under running water in a fine sieve.
• Put the grains in a pot with water or broth and some salt. Pay attention to the ratio of 1:2. That is, for every cup of quinoa, add two cups of water or broth!
• Bring the contents of the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat. Let the contents simmer for 15 minutes with the lid closed. 
• After about 15 minutes, quinoa will be slightly translucent - then it has the right consistency. If you want the grains to be softer, add a sip of water and simmer for a few more minutes.
• After cooking, strain the grains in a sieve. This allows the remaining water to drip off.

Tip: It is best to let the finished quinoa rest for a few minutes afterward: This prevents clumping! 

Ingredients for 4 people:

• 200 grams quinoa
• 400 milliliters of water/vegetable broth
• salt

Tip: Roast the quinoa grains with a little oil in a pan before cooking - they get a wonderful nutty flavor!

Why is it necessary to wash quinoa before preparation?

Quinoa husks contain saponins, which have a bitter taste. Although the saponin content of store-bought hulled quinoa has decreased, residues can still be found on the grain. Washing thoroughly removes any leftover remains.

It's preferable to rinse the grains in a fine-mesh strainer until only clear water passes through it. This reduces the bitterness of the quinoa after cooking.

Preparation in the rice cooker

• Instead of rice, you can also prepare quinoa on a rice stove. This is quick and easy:
• Put quinoa on the rice stove.
• Add double the amount of water or broth and half a teaspoon of salt.
• Cook quinoa on the rice stove for 15 minutes. If the "white rice" function is represented, choose this option!

Recipes with quinoa

Quinoa seeds are so versatile in the cooking that we don't want to be without them: The possibilities are endless, whether in a quinoa bowl with avocado, beet, and feta, as a side dish, in a veggie pan, or as a Qui sotto. You can even discriminate between white, red, and black quinoa if you want to add even more variation. More useful quinoa information and delicious quinoa recipes may be found here.
