SUPER EASY SOUTHWEST-STYLE QUINOA (COOKED IN RICE COOKER)
I made this recipe up on a whim because it sounded good. This is a quick recipe for a busy person who doesn't have the time to spend in the kitchen. Less than 5 minutes to prep, the rice cooker cooks it in about an hour, and it will keep it warm without scorching for several hours. I have a large rice cooker that has a steamer basket with it. You can add sweet corn to the mix. Top with chicken or mix in ground beef, pork, or venison. Very versatile. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips. My kids love this meal.

Steps:
- Rinse the quinoa in cold water. Put 1 cup (170 g) of quinoa into a fine mesh strainer or sieve and hold it under cold running water. Use your hands to swish the quinoa around as you rinse it. It's important to rinse quinoa before cooking it since this will remove the seed's bitter covering. If you don't have a sieve fine enough to rinse the quinoa, try lining a colander with cheesecloth or coffee filters instead.
- Put the quinoa, cold water, and salt into the rice cooker. Scoop the rinsed quinoa into your rice cooker and add 1 3⁄4 cups (410 ml) of cool or cold water. Then, stir in 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt to flavor your quinoa as it cooks. Avoid using hot water, which can give the quinoa a gummy texture.
- Cover the rice cooker and turn it on. Put the lid on your rice cooker and turn it on. If your rice cooker has separate settings for white and brown rice, choose the white rice option. Both white rice and quinoa need about 15 minutes to cook. Avoid lifting the lid as the quinoa cooks since it won't steam properly if moisture escapes. You may need to read the manufacturer's instructions for your rice cooker if you're not sure exactly how to operate it. Did You Know? There may be slight flavor differences between white, black, and red quinoa, but they should all take about the same time to cook.
- Let the quinoa sit for 3 to 5 minutes before you fluff it with a fork. Keep the lid on the rice cooker and unplug the machine. The quinoa will finish steaming as it rests for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes, lift the lid and fluff the quinoa gently with a fork. Fluffing the quinoa will loosen any grains that are compacted or stuck together, helping your quinoa have a lighter texture.
- Serve the quinoa. You can serve your quinoa plain, in place of rice or other elements of your meal. However, you can also incorporate quinoa into dishes and other sides. For instance, you can chill your quinoa and mix it with vinaigrette and shredded vegetables to make a cold quinoa salad. To store leftover quinoa, put it into an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the quinoa for up to 2 months. To defrost it, put the container in the refrigerator overnight.

PLAIN QUINOA
Have been asked a few times how to cook Quinoa. I strongly suggest it be toasted using Chef #10404 Recipe #16399 as it makes a world of difference in both taste and texture.
