Red Hot Quinoa

1. 1

   Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

2. 2

   While it boils, THOROUGHLY rinse the quinoa in a large bowl-- cover the grains in cold water and swish a whisk around for 1-2 minutes until all the soapy residue comes off, then put into a colander and rinse again under cold water.

3. 3

   This step is VERY important or else you'll have gross, bitter-tasting quinoa!

4. 4

   Lower the heat and carefully add the oil and seasonings to the water.

5. 5

   Shake a little salt and pepper in, but use the measuring spoons for the cinnamon and chili powder.

6. 6

   Mix those spices in and make sure there's no clumps.

7. 7

   Add the rinsed quinoa, loosely cover the pot, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the quinoa is nice and soft and has absorbed all/most of the water.
