For added flavor, cook in chicken broth instead of water. For a nutty flavor, toast quinoa before cooking. To toast, put quinoa in a non-stick saute pan with or without a small amount of oil. Heat to medium and stir constantly until golden brown in color. (It will pop while it toasts). Create a simple and delicious side dish for any meal by adding any of the following to cooked quinoa: sautéed onions; green pepper; mushrooms; toasted almonds, peanuts or other nuts; raisins or chopped dates; chopped parsley, cilantro or other herbs. |
