Toasting your quinoa before cooking it brings a nice nutty flavor to it. You may be surprised by the depth of flavor and delightful texture this simple step can add to your favorite gluten-free ancient grain. Whether it’s part of the process or the entire cooking method, toasting can turn your quinoa into a brand-new culinary sensation.
1 cup Ancient Harvest Traditional Quinoa (or Harmony)
Heat a big, heavy sauté pan on medium-low.
Our quinoa is already pre-rinsed so you can just pour a cup of quinoa into the heated pan.
Quickly stir the quinoa around in the pan as it begins to toast, about 10 minutes.
Toasted quinoa may be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container once it has cooled, so it can be helpful to toast enough at a time to use for multiple meals throughout the week.
