Method
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, 2 cups water, salt and lemon juice.
Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, covered, until quinoa is tender and a white tail appears around each grain, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside, covered, 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place coriander seeds in a small skillet.
Cook over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until just fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Coarsely crack seeds in a spice grinder or with the back of a small heavy skillet.
Toss quinoa with coriander, pepper and lemon zest.
Taste and stir in more lemon juice if desired.
