Pina Colada Quinoa image

Reminiscent of a tropical holiday, this breakfast cereal also makes a nie lunch or afternoon snack. Serve hot or cold. From Quinoa 365. You may wish to add 1/4 cup of unsweetened toasted coconut for a different and crunchy texture... or, a sliced banana, for more tropical taste!

Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup quinoa
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • TIP: Rinse the quinoa well; I use a fine mesh strainer - this removes any remaining natural coating, which has a slightly bitter flavour. If you have time, try recipe #16399, toasted quinoa, to prep your quinoa - it makes a world of difference!
  • In a medium saucepan, bring quinoa and coconut milk to boil. Cover, reduce to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave the covered saucepan on the burner for an additional 6 minutes.
  • Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Stir 1/2 cup of the juice into the saucepan. Add the sugar and vanilla and mix well. Stir in the crushed pineapple, and serve. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 2 days.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have some leftover pineapple after I make a smoothie, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of quinoa, but this recipe changed my mind. The coconut milk and pineapple give it such a delicious flavor, and the quinoa is nice and fluffy.
