Description

Base recipe for quinoa

Ingredients

1⁄2cquinoa
1cwater

Notes

It is VERY important you buy a brand of quinoa that is pre-washed. Most US sold brands are, but do look. If it doesn't say it is, pass on it!

While this recipe might seem simple an often asked question is "Can I cook quinoa on the trail without dehydrating?". It works well but you do need to keep a close eye on it while it boils.
For info on dehydrating quinoa see here:

Use this as a base and add whatever you crave - spices, herbs, lower sodium bouillon, etc.

Instructions

Add the quinoa and water to a small cooking pot (a 1 to 1.7 Liter works well). Add a pinch of salt if desired.
Bring to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes - keep the pot's lid on mostly and stir periodically. Lower the flame if needed.
Take off the stove, cover tightly and insulate - either with a pot cozy or what you have on hand. Let sit for 15 minutes without disturbing.
Fluff up and enjoy!

This looks like a great

This looks like a great recipe. I really appreciate how you instruct us on how to buy it. It is important to buy it pre-washed and then rinse when we get it home. The imported stuff may not be washed at all and simply rinsing at home will not clean it good enough.
