A friend of mine gave me this recipe a few weeks ago and I finally got around to making it. Wow. So, so good! The textures and flavors go so well together and it is great for this cool Fall weather. You can use whatever type of milk and sweetener that you like, I just like to use whole milk and natural sweeteners. If you are a Trader Joe's lover like myself then know that they have all the ingredients for this recipe in their store including organic red quinoa. I cannot stop making this!
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk, organic/raw preferred
1 cup water
1 cup organic red quinoa, rinsed (*If possible it is best if you soak the quinoa in 2 cups water + 2 tablespoons cultured buttermilk, kefir or whey for about 12 hours. Give it a good rinse after soaking. This will make the quinoa easier to digest.)
2 cups fresh blackberries, organic preferred
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup pecans, chopped and toasted*
Maple syrup or raw honey for drizzling on top
Directions:
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries and cinnamon; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey before serving.
*While the quinoa cooks, roast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
