I have one child with gluten intolerances (recently diagnosed) and she loves a morning porridge…so as oats are out, this was a great solution. It fast became a family fave, high in protein, and if you want to speed it up, soak the quinoa overnight. You can then cook it for around 20 minutes total.
NEED:
150g quinoa
300g water
120g milk of choice (nut, soy. rice, dairy)
1 vanilla bean
Pinch sea salt
Maple syrup or honey to taste
Toasted almonds to serve
DO:
Place quinoa, water, vanilla and salt into mixing bowl and
cook for 15 min/90ºC/Reverse + speed 1.
Add milk and cook a further 10 min/100ºC/Reverse + speed 1.
(It may bubble up, so stay close.)
Allow to rest in Thermomix bowl for around
10 minutes until liquid has been absorbed.
Drizzle with real maple syrup or honey, serve with toasted almonds and a
dollop of yoghurt or creme fraiche. Add fresh fruit of choice…You will be full all day….not kidding, ALL day!
