1 cup Quinoa rinsed and drained
2 cups water
Bring to a boil then simmer covered until all the water is absorbed. Basically, Quinoa is cooked just like rice.
High in protein, quinoa is a great alternative to oatmeal. For those of us on a wheat-free diet, it can be used sweet or savory. In the morning, I mix mine with maple syrup, some butter, cinnamon and lactose-free milk (or other non-dairy milk).
Quinoa has a soft texture when cooked. It is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc , copper, thiamin and riboflavin.
Such a cool fruit to have on your holiday table. Once de-seeded, the berries can be sprinkled in soups, stews and on salad. I've been eating them straight by spoon. They're so juicy and sweet-tart.
