The king of coarse grains: The cooking method of black quinoa

Rinse your black quinoa under cold water to get rid of any bitterness. Add 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and cover. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the grains are tender and the water is absorbed. If you’re short on time, toss the rinsed quinoa and water in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork when it’s done. I love how black quinoa’s earthy flavor pairs with roasted veggies or a zesty vinaigrette. It’s honestly a great swap if you’re looking to cut back on rice or pasta. Let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy the nutty taste and chewy texture! #BlackQuinoa #HealthySwaps #EasyCooking #Food #Cooking
