Rinse 1 cup raw quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve. (This step is super-important. Although most quinoa is pre-rinsed, all quinoa has a natural coating called saponin, which makes it taste bitter if it’s not rinsed well.) Heat 1 Tbsp. coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium (make sure it has a tight-fitting lid). Cook quinoa, stirring, until rinsing water evaporates, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp. salt and 1¾ cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to as low as possible. Cover and cook 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit an additional 5 minutes.
