Generally quinoa is cooked in a ratio of 2 cups water to 1 cup quinoa. You should first rinse off the quinoa in a fine sieve. This helps to rinse off any excess what ev. from it. Place the water and the quinoa in a medium sauce pan with a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down to low and let cook for about 20 minutes. If all the water is not absorbed, cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, still covered and let it sit for another 5 minutes.

I love to make tacos out of this by adding black beans after the quinoa has cooked.
