Spiced Quinoa Porridge Recipes

SPICED QUINOA PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Soak the quinoa overnight in warm filtered water, a pinch of sea salt and a tablespoon of yogurt. Rinse very well in the morning. This is to release all the bitter saponins and make the quinoa more nutritious and digestible.
• Warm the coconut oil in the saucepan, add the quinoa and mixed spices and toss for a couple of minutes.
• Add in the water and cinnamon sticks.
• Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, with lid on for approx 10 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and orange blossom water, vanilla, dates and figs. Stir through and simmer on a very low heat for 5 minutes.
• Serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon powder and the nut and coconut flake mix.
• Enjoy!
