A simple yet flavorful way to prepare quinoa, perfect as a side dish or a base for your favorite meals.
Toast the quinoa in a dry saucepan over medium heat until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
Add the water and salt to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cover the saucepan partially to avoid splattering.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the water is absorbed.
Check occasionally to ensure the quinoa doesn't stick to the pan.
Remove from heat, fluff the quinoa with a fork, and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Letting it rest covered allows the quinoa to finish steaming and become fluffy.
Serve the quinoa warm as a side dish or base for your favorite toppings.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
