QUINOA PORRIDGE

Looking for ideas for the quinoa you picked up at Trader Joe's? Here's a dairy and wheat free breakfast porridge thick, rich and delish for those cold mornings in the Andes. Those with nut allergies may wish to substitute soymilk or regular cow's milk for the almond. Adjust sugar to your taste or substitute with agave syrup or black strap molasses (use half as much). This recipe can easily be doubled.

Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup quinoa
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups almond milk
½ cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and measure in the quinoa. Season with cinnamon and cook until toasted, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour in the almond milk, water and vanilla and stir in the brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat until the porridge is thick and grains are tender, about 25 minutes. Add more water if needed if the liquid has dried up before it finishes cooking. Stir occasionally, especially at the end, to prevent burning.

Supercharge your morning with high-protein quinoa and omega-3 rich chia seeds for a creamy breakfast bowl topped with seasonal fruit

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Snack

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

175g quinoa
½ vanilla pod , split and seeds scraped out, or 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
15g creamed coconut
4 tbsp chia seeds
125g coconut yogurt
125g pot coconut yogurt
280g mixed summer berries , such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
2 tbsp flaked almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • Activate the quinoa by soaking overnight in cold water. The next day, drain and rinse the quinoa through a fine sieve (the grains are so small that they will wash through a coarse one).
  • Tip the quinoa into a pan and add the vanilla, creamed coconut and 600ml water. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the chia with another 300ml water and cook gently for 3 mins more. Stir in the pot of coconut yogurt. Spoon half the porridge into a bowl for another day. Will keep for 2 days covered in the fridge. Serve the remaining porridge topped with another pot of yogurt, the berries and almonds, if you like.
  • To have the porridge another day, tip into a pan and reheat gently, with milk or water. Top with fruit - for instance, orange slices and pomegranate seeds.
