quinoa recipes

Yep, same here (also rinse rice, lentils and small beans in a strainer). If it needs very thorough rinsing, like unrinsed quinoa or oily yellow dal, I might put it in a bowl of water, swirl it around and strain, and repeat until the water is clear in the bowl.

Is there such a thing as inexpensive quinoa? So far I'm only finding $9-a-bag stuff. Most of it needs to be rinsed.

I am very lazy when it comes to food, am not a good cook at all, so would be more likely to prepare it if I can find it pre-rinsed.

Costco. Stil $9-10 a bag, but it's a much bigger bag.

Trader Joe's is also a little less pricey, if you don't have a Costco membership.

So I finally got around to rinsing 1/2 cup of the quinoa that had worked its way to the back of the refrigerator. I kept a glass under the strainer to check the clarity of the water and ended up dumping it about 4 or 5 times before the water ran reasonably clear. Would soaking be more efficient? I just felt as if I was wasting a lot of water.
