Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa by Annette Simon serves: 4	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

I used a red quinoa here, but you can use whatever kind you like, white/buff colored seems to be the most common. Also, a few notes and tips from the book: low-fat soy milk may replace the low fat milk, blueberries may replace the blackberries, dark honey may replace the agave nectar, and walnuts may replace the pecans.

Ingredients:

1 cup

skim milk

1 cup

water

1 cup

organic quinoa (rinsed)

2 cups

organic fresh blackberries

1/2 tsp

ground cinnamon

1/3 cup

chopped toasted pecans*

4 tsp

organic agave nectar

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 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 1 teaspoon agave nectar over each serving.

Serves 4.

*While the quinoa cooks, roast the pecans in a 350F degree toaster oven for 5 to 6 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
