Quinoa - Tastes Great which is Good For You!

Quinoa has become the versatile super food I can ever imagine because it does not alter the taste of other ingredients. You can cook it and serve it however you want where there are thousands of recipes for quinoa that you could find on the internet. People are kind enough to talk about their quinoa economica recipes to us. I like starting my day having a bowl of quinoa because I feel that I have more energy.

Different Methods for Cooking QuinoaSteaming: Steaming can be a popular choice when cooking grain but additionally takes more hours than some of the other methods. It is therefore advisable that you apply steaming in partnership with cooking or absorption (soaking). Steaming allows the grain to slowly absorb the moisture and can give you evenly cooked grains.Boiling: This is the easiest method to cook your Quinoa. Boil it by cooking it in a medium temperature in 2 cups of water to each cup of Quinoa. Once it's cooked use a colander to drain the surplus water through the grains.

Add one part quinoa to two parts liquid inside your pot. You can use water, broth, juice, as well as milk if you wish. All gives different qualities for your finished quinoa. Once the liquid boils, reduce the heat and allow it to go simmer approximately 15 minutes. As soon as the liquid is absorbed, your quinoa is ready. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Fluff having a fork.

Another way on how to cook quinoa for lunch would be to mix black beans by it. All you need is 2 ½ to three cups of cooked quinoa, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, chopped onion, chopped garlic, pinch of ground cumin, pinch of red pepper cayenne, salt and pepper to taste, 2 cans of drained black beans and chopped cilantro.

While most recipes in order to smoke quinoa call for a one or two ratio between the seed and liquid, I think a greater ratio is certainly one to one and a half. Bring the quinoa and liquid with a simmer after which reduce to low. Cook covered for 25 minutes, or before the water is absorbed. Allow to remain covered for an additional five minutes. Fluff and serve.
