My tips for
quinoa are (1) soak
quinoa in cold water beforehand to
get rid of the bitter taste; (2) toast your
quinoa — it tastes nuttier; (3) use a bit less than a 2:1 liquid: grain ratio, as more water makes for
soggy quinoa; (4) cook in vegetable stock instead of water and add in flavorings like smashed garlic, peppercorns and fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs.
