Have been asked a few times how to cook Quinoa. I strongly suggest it be toasted using Chef #10404 Recipe #16399 as it makes a world of difference in both taste and texture.

Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat and boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until all the grains are translucent. Take care not to overcook. Drain the quinoa immediately but do not cool under cold water or the grain will be waterlogged. If not eating right away, transfer the quinoa to a cloth lined baking pan and fluff up with two forks to help cool the grain a little faster.
