Recipe Notes
This stovetop method of making quinoa is definitely hands-on. If you walk away, or get distracted, while it's simmering, it can very quickly burn once the water (or broth) has been absorbed.Serving size: 1 cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.6*SmartPoints (Green plan)6*SmartPoints (Blue plan)6*SmartPoints (Purple plan)6*PointsPlus (Old plan)
