Homemade quinoa and roasted veg |
How to cook yer basic quinoa:
The ratio is 1 cup of uncooked quinoa to 2 cups of water/broth/miso. Bring quinoa and liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

This grain is also a sporty person's dream - it is one of the few grains which contains all nine of the essential amino acids ( Of the 22 we need, 9 are not manufactured by our body and ergo called EAA). Most grains are low in lysine, therefore they are considered incomplete proteins. But, quinoa actually contains lysine, as well as all eight of the other amino acids, making it a complete protein, similar to animal proteins. How cool is that?
So folks, be brave and add this delicious grain to your table.
