Tip of the Month - Quinoa

Quinoa seems to be one of the current "super foods" - it's a healthy grain that's conveniently packed with protein. It isn't super hard to make but I experimented with cooking it in my rice cooker anyway. The result was better than my stovetop efforts.

I used the same water to grain ratio for quinoa as I do for long grain white rice. I forgot to time it but it didn't seem to take to0 long, about 15-20 minutes.

Remember to thoroughly rinse quinoa before cooking regardless of what method you use, this will prevent a bitter final product.
