How to prepare the quinoa.

This recipe must be planned for, but it takes quite literally 1 minute of active

planning. Rather than listing dry, raw quinoa as an ingredient and then

instructing you to soak it for 12 hours, I’ve included the soaked and drained

quinoa as an ingredient.

Simply place about 1 1/2 cups (jar, and add enough tap water to cover in the refrigerator overnight, or for up to 24 hours. Then, drain in a fine mesh

sieve or nut milk bag, and measure the soaked and drained quinoa use in the recipe.
