1
/
3 cup quinoa
2
/
3 cup water
pinch of salt
½ cup fruit
2 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
a d d i t i o n s
any other syrup
honey
jam
vanilla extract
cinnamon
nutmeg
yogurt
Add the quinoa, water, and salt to a small pot. Place it on medium heat.
Let it come to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low so that it
simmers gently.
Meanwhile, unless you're using small berries, cut up your fruit into
bite-sized pieces. If you're using fresh fruit, dump it in at the end with
the maple syrup. If it's the winter and you're using frozen fruit, toss it
into the pot a couple of minutes before the quinoa is cooked so that it
can warm up and mix in nicely.
The quinoa should take about 20 minutes to cook. Keep an eye on it;
if it looks like it's getting dry, add some water. The quinoa is cooked
when it is translucent, has doubled in size, and an opaque ring is visible
around each grain. Mix in maple syrup to your liking, then serve.
This is the basic recipe. Customize it to your tastes by tossing in
anything you like or any of the additions I've suggested below the
ingredients list.
