One of my favorite dishes that includes quinoa is a breakfast cereal

that AJ posted awhile ago. I searched and couldn't find it in the

files. So here it is again:

 

Overnight Crockpot Cereal

 

1/2 cup quinoa

1 1/2 cups whole oat groats

1/2 cup millet

1/4 cup whole barley (not " pearl " ) or whole spelt

1/8 cup amaranth

1 teaspoon salt

maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice

chopped nuts as desired

fruit or dried fruit as desired

 

Soak the quinoa for 10 minutes in water, and drain to eliminate any bitterness.

Meanwhile, rinse all oats, millet and barley in a colander for a minute or so.

Tip them into a slow cooker as you finish rinsing. Drain the water from the

quinoa, and add it to cooker along with amaranth.

Add 5 cups water and the salt.

Turn heat on cooker to low, and cover. Cook overnight.

In the morning, turn off the cooker and stir the mixture with a large spoon in

case some of the grain sticks to the side of the pot.

Scoop a serving of the mixture into a bowl, and add a drizzle of sweetener, a

few nuts and a little bit of fruit, if desired.

Makes 10 servings.

Place the remaining cereal in refrigerator container; keeps about a week. Reheat

in a pot or microwave, and add toppings as desired.

 

-------------------------------

 

I should add that the first time I made this my crockpot didn't work and the

grains ended up soaking all night. I just put it on the stove and cooked it the

next morning. It came out great and that's how I make it all the time now. It's

a very flexible recipe and I do change the grains around. This makes a lot and

I'm just one person, so I cook it up and then warm up a serving every day for a

week or so until it's gone. Then I make it again. :-) Thanks, AJ!
