Quinoa Pudding by Dr. Andrew Weil image

From "Eight Weeks to Optimal Health". I haven't tried it yet but want to post it for safekeeping. Dr Weil says: Here is an unusual, healthy dessert made from the staple grain-like seed of the high Andes, now available in specialty food shops and health-food stores.

1 cup quinoa
2 cups apple juice
1 cup raisins

cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa in a sieve and wash it well under cold running water. Drain and place in a pot with 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat, and boil gently until all the water is absorbed, and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.

  • Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Chill. Serve plain, or with berries or sliced banana or a little maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
