Puffed quinoa

Bring a pan with water to a boil and season it with salt. Once it’s boiling add some quinoa and boil it till the quinoa is completely over cooked. This takes around 25 minutes. Then drain it and transfer it on a tray that’s lined with a silicon sheet. Now spread it and then let it dry at 60 degrees Celsius. Mix it every now and then to prevent it from sticking to each other and then you’ll end up with a really nice crumble. Then we can deep fry it to make it puff up. Do this with small batches a time at 200 degrees Celsius for just a couple of seconds till the big bubbles stop. Once the quinoa is nice and golden transfer it on a tray that’s lined with a kitchen paper and let it drain for a couple of minutes. Now you can season it with some salt or add 1 or 2 tablespoons of icing sugar. Salt for savory and sweet for desserts. Then mix it well and then keep it dry and covered for later.
