Ingredients
3 servings
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
- 1½ cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus extra to serve
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- salt, a pinch
- 1½ cups mixed berries, fresh or thawed frozen
- ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, optional
Method
- Rinse the quinoa in a fine sieve under cold water for about 30 seconds to remove its bitter coating.
- Put the quinoa, water, almond milk, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender.
- Take the pan off the heat and leave it covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Divide among 3 bowls, add a splash of almond milk, and top with berries, walnuts, hemp seeds and maple syrup if using.
Food safety and storage
- Cooled quinoa keeps in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk until steaming.
