Notes
*Rinsing the quinoa beforehand ensures that all of the saponin (a naturally occurring bug repellent) is washed away. Saponin can make the quinoa taste bitter if it remains on the grain.
*Broth can be substituted for the water, resulting in a more savory tasting quinoa. Additional seasonings can be added in with the water and quinoa before cooking to make the quinoa more flavorful.
