step 1
First of all, rinse the quinoa well into a sieve under running water, this operation is necessary to remove substances that could make it quench, so it should be carefully done
step 2
Then put it in a frying pan, no oil or other condiments, to dry for good and then toast for a few minutes.
step 3
I add the water, which, for my experience, must be approximately equal to one and a half times the volume of quinoa, if you want to keep a crunchy texture.
step 4
It is also true that the amount of water you need may vary depending on the quality of the quinoa used, so it is important to follow the instructions on the packaging and hope for it!

After adding water, cover with the lid, lower the fire to a minimum and allow it to cook for ten minutes, then let go and let it rest for at least another ten minutes.
step 6
Once cold, I put the quinoa in a bowl and dress it with dripping chickpeas, chopped cherry tomatoes, the small pepper to the listener, the onion spring stalk

Add two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mint and chopped parsley.
