How to cook quinoa – If your idea of effort in the kitchen includes something out of a cardboard box and a microwave, you probably know that you are not getting all of the nutrients that your body needs. If you never bothered learning how to cook, eating healthy can be a challenge. What you need are some dishes that are easy to prepare and good for you.
A great place to start is by cooking quinoa! Quinoa is a super food that provides all eight of the amino acids that your body needs. It is both easy to prepare and good for you! Quinoa cooks in less time that just about any other grain, so it is great if you are rushing home to get dinner on the table for your hungry family!
The best part for those who don’t enjoy cooking is that fixing quinoa is virtually fool-proof! Unlike rice, it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. If you can heat liquid in a pan you can cook quinoa!

Once your quinoa has rinsed for a few minutes, you will want to use one parts quinoa to two parts liquid. You can cook quinoa in water, but you will get better results if you use a liquid that matches the type of quinoa recipe you are making. For savory dishes, I like to use broth. In the morning, I love the subtle sweetness that apple juice gives.
Simply combine the quinoa and liquid, cover your pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid has absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 15 minutes. Your quinoa is ready to serve!
Quinoa can be made easily and quickly in your Rival crock pot, usually only taking about 6-8 hours to prepare, thus making it ideal for the family or individual ‘on the go!’ learning how to cook quinoa in a crock pot can be just as simple as other methods of preparation.
