How I cook quinoa: I use a 1:2 ratio; 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water. After a very thorough rinse, bring to a boil with a little salt, then simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. I usually make a big batch and use it throughout the week. One cup of uncooked quinoa will yield a whole bunch of quinoa, enough for this recipe and then some. —mrslarkin
