Pour raw quinoa into a sieve, and rinse thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until all the quinoa is wet and rinsed. Set aside to drain

Heat olive oil in a saucepan until hot (not too hot!)

Add the quinoa to the olive oil and cook for about 1 minute just until dried off.

Add the water and stir.

Bring to the boil.

Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is cooked. The quinoa looks like tiny little spirals when ready.

Leave to stand for 5 minutes covered.

Fluff, and serve when ready.
