Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Quinoa Breakfast Pilaf The Inca called quinoa the " mother grain, " and North Americans are just beginning to explore its possibilities. The small, bead-shaped grains are high in protein and contain all eight essential amino acids. Look for quinoa at whole foods stores. If you like, add a little more sugar to the recipe to make a superb cold-weather dessert. Ingredients 1 cup (7 oz/210 g) quinoa 2 cups (16 fl oz/480 ml) water 1 teaspoon natural cane sugar 1 - pinch sea salt 1/3 cup (2 1/2 oz/75 g) dried cranberries 1/3 cup (2 1/2 oz/75 g) currants 1 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted 1 1/2 cups (12 fl oz/360 ml) 1% vanilla soy milk, warmed Preparation - Estimated cooking time: Under 30 minutes - 1 Rinse quinoa very well in a fine-mesh sieve and let drain. 2 In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the quinoa. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes more. 3 Gently toss the quinoa with the fruit and almonds. Serve with the warmed soy milk.

Hmm, about 4. It's yummy, high in protein and good for calcium too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
