1 cup uncooked quinoa

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Fantastic recipe from my favorite web site skinny taste.com. I make this at least once a week. Quinoa is very good for you and delicious as well. 1 cup of uncooked quinoa equals 3 cups cooked quinoa.
