Cooking instructions

First, rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitter or soapy tastes, then add 1 cup of quinoa and two cups of water to a medium sized saucepan on a high heat. Give your quinoa a flavourful boost by adding a Knorr Stock Pot before the water comes to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 12-15 minutes. Once all the water has boiled off, your quinoa is ready. Fluff it up with a fork, and serve!
