Learn how to cook quinoa quickly and easily on the stovetop. Simple to make, this gluten-free grain is the perfect addition to main dishes, salads and is great for meal prep.
Combine rinsed quinoa and water in a pot, and boil over medium-high heat.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and cook until ready, about 15 minutes.
TIPS
• Before serving, fluff the quinoa with a fork to separate the grains.
• Once the quinoa is done cooking, take it off of the heat and place a lid on it for a few minutes. This will help the quinoa absorb any excess liquid.
