The Amazing Multipurpose Quinoa Topping That You Can Use On Anything Food

THE AMAZING MULTIPURPOSE QUINOA TOPPING THAT YOU CAN USE ON ANYTHING

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until no liquid remains and quinoa is tender, about 12 minutes. Spread quinoa on a baking sheet and let cool, about 10 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, arrange an oven rack in top third of oven and preheat broiler to high. Broil quinoa, rotating pan halfway through, until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes, watching quinoa carefully to avoid burning. Let cool completely.

QUINOA-TOASTED

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup quinoa into a fine strainer and rinse thoroughly under cool water-this will get rid of it's natural, bitter coating. I find this method helpful too-pour quinoa into a medium bowl, add cold water and swish around with your hand. Place a unbleached coffee filter into your strainer, then drain off the quinoa. It's a lot less annoying this way as the tiny grain won't get stuck in your strainer.
• Put rinsed quinoa into a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Cook, shaking the pan for around 15 minutes or until the quinoa reaches a golden brown.
• Remove from heat and pan and cool.
• Store in a clean jar with a tight fitting lid.
• Keeps for up to 1 month.
