Provided by Brenda Janschek

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quinoa
pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon yoghurt or whey
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon mixed spices like cardamom (nutmeg, cloves)
1.5 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 - 2.5 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons orange blossom water (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
1/4 cup chopped Turkish figs and Medjool dates
Sprinkle of cinnamon and cardamom
1/2 cup mix of nuts and coconut flakes (raw or roasted (I love pistachios with this dish))

Steps:

  • Soak the quinoa overnight in warm filtered water, a pinch of sea salt and a tablespoon of yogurt. Rinse very well in the morning. This is to release all the bitter saponins and make the quinoa more nutritious and digestible.
  • Warm the coconut oil in the saucepan, add the quinoa and mixed spices and toss for a couple of minutes.
  • Add in the water and cinnamon sticks.
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, with lid on for approx 10 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and orange blossom water, vanilla, dates and figs. Stir through and simmer on a very low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon powder and the nut and coconut flake mix.
  • Enjoy!

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.

½ cup quinoa
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups almond milk

  • 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.
