Love this stuff, but it takes forever to boil!

for those of you who don't know what quinoa is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa

Either way it's like rice but good for you, chock filled with nutrients and fiber.

Takes ages to make, serving it with a chicken curry with lots of bell peppers, chili, cream etc.. good stuff

Forever to boil? I doesn't take long at all..

Boil water first then drop in the quinoa, it should take no longer than 10-12 minutes to cook. Much faster than rice and much better for you..

I make it all the time, red quinoa is nice too.. Not sure what you are doing but doesn't sound right...

Most quinoa in the US is sold with the outer coating already removed. If you ever buy natural quinoa, or buy it in South America (no idea how it is sold in Europe) you have to soak the hell out of it, changing the water a couple of times over 10-12 hours before you can cook it.

I eat quinoa a couple of times a week. I like it for breakfast cold, in salads, in soups, and I make quinoa and yam latka a couple of times a month. They are awesome.

Ahh that could be why then, because I find it quick to prepare..
