How to make Blonde Quinoa
Learn how to make blonde quinoa that comes out fluffy and tender every time. This simple cooking method uses broth instead of water to give your quinoa extra flavor without adding extra work.
Start by rinsing your blonde quinoa well in a fine mesh sieve. Add it to a pot with chicken broth, or use any broth you prefer. Bring everything to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Once the quinoa finishes cooking, turn off the heat. Wrap the pot lid in a clean tea towel, place it back on the pot, and let the quinoa rest for another 10 minutes. The towel helps absorb excess steam so the quinoa grains stay separate instead of becoming wet or clumpy.
Once you know how to make blonde quinoa, you can use it as an easy side dish, add it to salads, or use it as a base for your favorite proteins and vegetables.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup blonde quinoa
2 cups chicken broth or broth of your choice
Recipe Directions:
Rinse the quinoa well under cold water using a fine mesh sieve.
Add the rinsed quinoa and chicken broth to a saucepan.
Bring the broth to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Simmer for about 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Wrap the underside of the lid with a clean tea towel and place the lid back on the pot.
Let the quinoa rest, covered, for 10 minutes. The towel will absorb excess steam and help keep the grains separate.
Remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Serve warm or let it cool for use in salads and other recipes.
