The double-lid donabe rice cooker, "Kamado-san" doesn't only make premium-quality rice, but it also does amazing job cooking different kinds of grain.
Here's a very quick and easy quinoa recipe with Kamado-san.
This time, I used my baby-size Kamado-san (1 rice-cup size) for a small amount.
Tomato-flavored Quinoa Pilaf in Donabe
1. Rinse 1 cup (240 ml) quinoa (I used mixed colors).
2. In Kamado-san, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute the quinoa for a couple of minutes over medium-heat.
3. Add 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable stock and 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Season with a little amount of salt and pepper. Stir. Add a bay leaf in the center.
4. Cover with both lids and cook over medium-heat for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest (covered) for 15-20 minutes.
It tastes great on its own or you can serve it as a side dish for your protein. The texture of donabe-cooked quinoa is really great, as I can really taste each grain.
Happy donabe life.
