Got all the ingredients to make the quinoa, mushroom & bacon cake but the pack of quinoa I bought in the health shop has no cooking instructions and Clotilde's recipe says cook the quinoa in stock or salted water according to the package instructions. Is there a standard time for cooking quinoa, at last an idea !
Hello Elise, and welcome to the forums!
- remove from heat, and let stand, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until the quinoa has bloomed to absorb all the water/stock.
You can also toast it a little in a hot pan before adding it to the water.
Thanks! Looking forward to try it this week end. Think it would be nice with a lamb lettuce salad.
I have been reading the blog for a while and just got the C&Z book (not easy to find in Ireland!) but never dared the forum before!
