Here is a photo of her on one of our coffee mornings (decaf, soy, of course) in Venice.
1 cup of quinoa
1 3/4 cups of water
Coarse sea salt
Rinse the quinoa thou roughly in a fine mesh strainer (although this may sound like an unnecessary step, it really makes a huge difference in flavour, since quinoa's natural coating tastes like soap).
Place it in a pot set over high heat with the water and a pinch of salt. Bring the quinoa to the boil, lower the heat, cover the pot, and cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa's germs look like lots of little spirals, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off, place a dry paper towel between the pot and the lid and let the quinoa sit for at least 5 minutes before giving it a fluff with a fork.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have finally gotten around to reading your blog... Thank you. I will try your version of quinoa as above because I have only had unpleasant experiences with the preparation and taste of it in the past. LOL! Regards Diana
