Preparation Information Quinoa Should be rinsed thoroughly before cooking to remove any powdery residue. Place grain in a fine strainer and hold under cold running water until water runs clear, drain well. Boil two cups of water or broth, combine water or broth and one cup of quinoa in a medium saucepan. Reduce to simmer, cover and cook until the grain is translucent and the germ has spiraled out from each grain. Cook for about 15 minutes. Serve it with soup or gravies.
