For all of you who have ever tossed and turned all night long, wondering about this mind-boggling question, I finally have the answer....Yes, my friends, quinoa can be made in your rice cooker!
Yesterday I made Adam, the husband, a quinoa salad in my tiny 9$ rice maker, and it turned our really well.
Here's how ya do it...
Rinse your quinoa very very well. You'll need one of those colanders with the absolutely tiny holes, so that the quinoa doesn't fall through.
Continue rinsing until water runs clear. Finish rinsing with hot water.
Transfer the quinoa to the rice maker (without adding water!) and turn the rice maker on so that the quinoa can brown.
When the quinoa starts to sizzle, stir it a little and allow it to come to a sizzle again.
Add twice the amount of water than you have quinoa, and season heavily.
I added:
-1 tablespoon of chicken soup powder
-salt/pepper
-dried vegetable flakes
-basil
-bay leaves
-dill
The flip the rice maker back on and let it work its magic.
Bon (and healthy) appetit!!
