Quinoa and Barley Breakfast Porridge image

Here is a yummy alternative to oatmeal in the morning. Very healthy whole grains, too. "Super foods" some people call them. Takes a little while to make it, but very yummy. Add your own spices, sweeteners and dried fruit, to your taste. This recipe can be easily halved if you use a small saucepan. Supposedly you can cook in a small crockpot overnight, but I've personally only ever tried this on the stovetop.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup barley (I prefer hulled to pearled)
1/2 cup quinoa
1 pinch salt
4 cups water
dried fruits (optional, such as raisins, cranberries or cherry)
maple syrup (optional) or sugar (optional)
spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom (optional)
milk (optional) or yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • For the crockpot method: Mix the first four ingredients (barley, quinoa, salt and water) and cook on low overnight.
  • For the stovetop method: Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Then simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.
  • For both methods continue from here: Fluff with a fork and put into serving dishes.
  • Add sweetener, dried fruits and spices, as desired. Basically, as you would like for oatmeal. Similar. Serve with milk or yogurt if desired.
  • For Vegan omit the milk and yogurt or sub non dairy milk such as soy milk.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The porridge was still delicious without them.
