I used Better Than Bouillon beef broth here since it was pairing with birria- and mozzarella-flavored pupusas, but use whatever broth fits what you're serving it with.
Ingredients
- • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- • 2 cups broth (Better Than Bouillon beef or chicken, or your favorite)
- • Salt, to taste
Steps
- 1.Combine the rinsed quinoa and broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- 2.Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
- 3.Fluff with a fork and season with salt to taste if needed.
Notes
- • Better Than Bouillon is a must in my book, but any good broth works.
- • Chicken broth makes this a light, easy-on-the-stomach option when you're feeling under the weather.
