Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa uncooked
- 1¼ cups Water
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil *optional
Optional:
- Other spices like cumin, paprika, turmeric
- Chia seeds
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer, drain all excess water. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with water. Use enough water to submerge the quinoa completely. Allow the quinoa to soak for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook drain the quinoa and rinse again under cold water to remove any remaining residue.
- Add drain quinoa to a high-speed blender, then add water, salt, olive oil and any other additions that you like (read notes).
- Blend until completely smooth. Then, let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan or skillet and pour in the batter, about 1/3 cup at the time. Twirl the pan to spread out the batter and make it thinner. If you don't have a good non-stick pan you may need to use a bit of oil. Cook for 1 minute, flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Repeat.
