In reply to Vajra. Hi Vajra, I am not an expert on cooking with meat since I'm a vegetarian, but what you describe sounds like it will work similarly to cooking quinoa in broth.

Found you again because I remember making your quinoa and it was much better than any that I had prior. I have a question before I even get going I am eating meat I have ground grass fed, grass finished beef and organic pastured Pork put together and quick sautéed in a large single – not even complete – layer. I wanted flat chunks not to touch each other an added a bit of organic, free olive oil,, that had crushed garlic marinating in it and a little creole spice. a bit of turmeric and fresh ground grind of black pepper.

Left out onion because I have a friend who cannot eat onion and it I always forget and then I can never share anything with her and I wanted to do that this time. oh and I had some simple marinara sauce needed to be used so added that in.

So the meat turned out very tasty and I had leftover liquid combination of oil and water and I’m writing all this to you to say I want to try instead of just using plain clean water, I’m going to combine this slightly oily liquid with the water I think in the first cooking so that it becomes embedded in the quinoa which I am going to use to stuff great big red and orange peppers that I’ll add fresh Italian flat leaf parsley from my garden to and maybe mushrooms and definitely top each off with pretty spicy nasturtium flowers just picked from my garden..

Do you think it’ll work to combine the liquid from the meat as part of the cooking water for the quinoa? Oh, I think I also have some dried basil from my garden that I flecked in there in terms of the meat.

In reply to Cookie and Kate. Yeah sorry, I jumped the gun on the AI thing. I tried to go back and delete my comment but couldn't figure out how. Sorry, I let my frustration get the better of me on that one.

I can’t believe this isn’t the standard method on all quinoa packaging and recipes for cooking quinoa. I feel very indebted to you for this. Thank-you!

In reply to Selena. Hi Selena, this isn't AI generated and all comments are real and moderated by a real human. I'm not sure what question you need answered. This recipe has worked for many.

In reply to Kathleen. I tried this recipe at sea level with the same result. Added more water and it still wasn't enough. Quinoa was still half-raw by the end of it. Lack of response from author makes me think this was an AI generated article and recipe and likely fake reviews.

Wow!! Best, easiest & fluffiest quinoa ever. I make a big batch, freeze it & then have it readily available for a sweet version for breakfast or a savory version for lunch. Thank you!

This recipe really helped in my quest to make fluffy quinoa. However I still have to make one tweek to get it right. I add 1 tablespoon of oil in the water; per one cup of quinoa.
I know this affects the nutritional value; I try to use the healthiest oil I can like avocado or olive oil.
Pretty sure it has to do with the high elevation ( 9,600ft ) and low humidity.
I found this out by accident and it has been a game changer. I also have to do this when making rice.
Hope this helps others who live at high altitude.
