Cooks Note: Rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa under cold running water. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the damp quinoa to the pan and cook, stirring often for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the quinoa is dry, lightly brown and beginning to pop. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the quinoa onto a large plate to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 day.
