Equipment

  • Fine Mesh Strainer
  • medium saucepan with lid
  • measuring cup and spoon
  • fork for fluffing quinoa

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups bone broth
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by rinsing the uncooked quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. This will help remove any bitter taste. 
  • In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups bone broth, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow quinoa to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. 
  •  For fluffy quinoa, once fully cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the quinoa and separate the grains.
  • Serve sprinkled with additional salt if desired. Enjoy it as a wholesome and delicious addition to your meal! 

Notes

  • One of my favorite ways to serve this quinoa cooked in bone broth is with this No-Fuss Butter Chicken for a delicious and easy meal that’s sure to impress!
