Thermos Method Quinoa
Ingredients:
- 1 stainless steel bullet-style Thermos®, 17 ounce size
- ½ cup quinoa (prewashed)
- 1 cup boiling water
- Salt, if desired
Instructions:
If it’s cold outside, preheat your thermos by pouring in boiling water and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Drain off—you can use this water for a hot drink or for whatever.
Meanwhile, bring the cup of water to boil. Add the quinoa and salt to the thermos. Seal tightly and shake a couple of times. Ignore for 4 to 6 hours.
Use a long-handled spoon to remove some of the quinoa. Knock out the rest into a clean bowl or sandwich bag. It will be nice and warm. Use as desired. Rinse the thermos out.
Makes about 1½ cups cooked. Use as you would instant rice, for serving sauces and soups over.
Serves 2.
