Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup quinoa, well rinsed
2/3 cup water
1 granny smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped almonds or 1/4 cup cashews
2 -3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon soy margarine
1 -2 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse Quinoa well to ensure your dish doesn't have a bitter taste.
  • In a small sauce pan, bring water and Quinoa to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes (or until water is absorbed). You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
  • In a separate sauce pan, while Quinoa is cooking, melt soy margarine, then add raisins, nuts, cinnamon (and syrup, if desired) and simmer until raisins are plumped.
  • When Quinoa is fully cooked, add fruit and nut mixture. Serve immediately.

APPLE-CINNAMON QUINOA PANCAKES



Apple-Cinnamon Quinoa Pancakes image

My daughter and daughter-in-law got me hooked on quinoa. I dressed up a regular pancake recipe to create these delicious apple-cinnamon breakfast treats. The shredded apple remains slightly crunchy with the short cooking time, and it nicely complements the chewy texture of the quinoa. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
