Cooking quinoa to perfection is simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps for maximum tastiness:

Preparation is Key:

• Rinse Thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold running water. This crucial step removes any natural saponins that can cause a bitter or soapy taste, ensuring a clean flavour.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed quinoa to a medium-sized saucepan. Pour in 2 cups of water.

2. Boost the Flavour: For an extra layer of deliciousness, add a generous pinch of Knorr Seasoning to the water before it starts to boil. This is your secret weapon for a truly craveable dish!

3. Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for 12-15 minutes.

4. Check for Readiness: The quinoa is ready when all the water has been absorbed. You shouldn't see any standing water in the pan.

5. Fluff and Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for a few minutes. Then, gently fluff the quinoa with a fork to separate the grains. Serve hot and enjoy your perfectly cooked, flavourful quinoa!
