Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 2 cups quinoa

Directions

• Bring water to a boil on high heat in a 3 quart pot.
• Add the quinoa and stir.
• Allow the quinoa to boil on high heat for 5 minutes.
• Turn burner off.
• Cover the pot tightly with a well-fit lid.
• Let the pot sit covered for 20 minutes or more until water is fully absorbed. Do not remove or even slightly lift the lid prior to 20 minutes. You can leave it on longer if desired. I find 30 minutes yields even better results. But 20 minutes will work if you are pressed for time.
• Remove lid after 20-30 minutes and fluff quinoa with a fork.
