Extra Tips for Quinoa Cooked in a Jar

Instead of zucchini, you can replace them with other vegetables of your choice based on the season. If you prefer to cook 2 servings of quinoa, double the quantities and place them in a one-liter jar. In this case, a jar with a thin seal will also work, and double the cooking times.
