Notes

We used a pouch of pre-cooked quinoa for ease.

If cooking your own place 125g of dried quinoa into a saucepan with 250ml of cold water and a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and allow to steam in the residual heat for several minutes before uncovering. (This will yield just over 250g cooked quinoa).
