This three-minute video tutorial provides a step by step guide to cooking a dish of organic quinoa which is an all natural gluten-free grain.
Now, I'm going to show you how to cook organic quinoa. In cooking quinoa, it's really very simple and it takes fifteen to twenty minutes. So, it's no different from white rice, really.
So, what you need to do is ensure that you boil some water, preferably filtered water. So, what you need to do is put that on. Get your pan ready.
Put it on a high heat and add your water. So, what you need is roughly about 100-150 mils depending on how much quinoa you're cooking. Right, so what I'm now going to do is add the stock.
Now, I'm using a bouillon powder which is a reduced salt version but you can get these in a number of versions. You can also get them yeast free as well, if you're sensitive to yeast. You can also use other stock cubes; you can use stock cubes if you like.
So, all you need for this amount of quinoa, for about one to two people, is roughly about 1 teaspoon. A heap teaspoon, I would say, and then you just pop that in and then what you do is just cover that. And then, what you want to do is make sure you leave that, give that a bit of a stir, actually, and then leave that to dissolve.
So, you keep that boiling for a couple of minutes and then once that's dissolved, what you do is add the quinoa. So, just leave that to boil for a couple of minutes. So once your water is boiling and the stock has dissolved into the water, what you need to then do is add you quinoa.
So, what you want to do is just add in your quinoa. And then what you need to do now is give that a stir. Yes, so bring that to a boil.
Once that's boiled, and then you leave it to simmer for about fifteen to twenty minutes. So after twenty minutes or so, make sure you check the quinoa, and then once you'll know it's cooked because it's absorbed all the water, as you can see here, so nice and fluffy, it's doubled. It's doubled its size and then all you have to do after that is then serve it up.
And that's how to cook organic quinoa. .
