Place the rinsed quinoa in a dry sauce pan and toast, stirring frequently, until the quinoa is dry, lightly colored and has a nutty aroma

3. Place the toasted quinoa in the saucepan with the water, reduce the heat and simmer until it is translucent and tender and the germ and spiraled out from the grain, 12-15 minutes. Drain the quinoa and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool.
