To prepare, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any saponins, which can give it a bitter taste. Combine one part quinoa with two parts liquid, such as water or vegetable broth, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. It can be served warm or cold.
