Quinoa Porridge
Ingredients
- 100g quinoa (uncooked)
- 500ml water
- 300ml milk
- To sweeten: grated apple/handful raisins/banana
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa (to remove any bitter taste) and add it to a pan along with 500ml of cold water.
- Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the grains begin to 'split' (total time on the hob is 20 minutes). Drain any excess water using a sieve.
- Over a low-medium heat mix together the quinoa and milk before adding your natural sweetener e.g. grated apple & raisins, stevia or mashed banana and vanilla and stirring.
- Once heated and the milk has absorbed, serve your quinoa porridge topped with fruit and nuts (I use pomegranate seeds & walnuts or sliced bananas and berries) & add a dash of cinnamon and/or honey if you fancy it!
Notes
To save time on a morning, you can do steps 1 and 2 the night before and pop it in the fridge over night before moving onto step 3!
To make an individual portion use 1/2 of the quinoa (120-150g cooked weight) along with 150ml milk
Nutritional stats shown are for 1 serving of quinoa with skimmed milk only (this recipe serves 2 people)
