Ingredients




coconut oil
1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Lime juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1 Rinse your quinoa for two minutes in a fine mesh strainer, if you so desire. 2 Use coconut oil to grease the inside of your rice cooker bowl (reduces sticking after cooked). 3 Add quinoa and chicken broth to rice cooker, close lid and set to "rice" setting (I use the brown rice setting). 4 Let quinoa cook in the rice cooker as normal, and chop your cilantro. 5 When the quinoa is done cooking, open the lid and let it cool for about 5 minutes. 6 Fluff the quinoa with a fork, and transfer to a medium bowl. 7 Add garlic, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Stir until evenly distributed. 8 Serve, distribute servings for meal prep, or store covered in the fridge.
