#quinoa

fr i've been trying out a new quinoa bowl recipe and i realized you don't need to rinse quinoa before cooking tbh it's a waste of time and water

here's the quick rundown

• cook the quinoa straight from the package with a pinch of salt
• roast a mix of sweet potato cubes, broccoli florets, and cherry tomatoes in the oven
• toss the cooked quinoa with the roasted veggies
• drizzle a simple tahini lemon sauce made with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of veggie broth
• finish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds

i've found that skipping the rinse keeps the grains a bit more fluffy and reduces the extra step, and the sauce cuts through the nuttiness nicely

give it a try if you want something fast and minimal hassle
