Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup quinoa, well rinsed
2/3 cup water
1 granny smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped almonds or 1/4 cup cashews
2 -3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon soy margarine
1 -2 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse Quinoa well to ensure your dish doesn't have a bitter taste.
  • In a small sauce pan, bring water and Quinoa to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes (or until water is absorbed). You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
  • In a separate sauce pan, while Quinoa is cooking, melt soy margarine, then add raisins, nuts, cinnamon (and syrup, if desired) and simmer until raisins are plumped.
  • When Quinoa is fully cooked, add fruit and nut mixture. Serve immediately.

QUINOA BREAKFAST CEREAL



Quinoa Breakfast Cereal image

Quinoa (pronounced Kin-wa) is an ancient grain that was a staple food of the ancient Incas of South America. This recipe is a cooked cereal somewhat like oatmeal, but even healthier! It is gluten-free and according to Bob's Red Mill (the brand of quinoa I used), is the most nutrious of all grains. The added flax meal is for boosting your omega-3s. I make this on the weekend, and then reheat a bowl in the microwave.
