Quinoa, Oats and Walnuts

in #food7 years ago

After alot of trials, no meal gave me a morning boost as much as this one, even though it could be a snack at anytime other than the morning. Recipe is slightly modified to what I thought is a better result in flavor and texture than the original one.

Ingredients:

4 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Steel cut Oats (Use glutenfree if you have a gluten allergy)
1/2 Cup White Quinoa
1/2 Cup Raisins or Cranberries
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt

Cooking directions:

1 - Rinse and wash the Quinoa.

2 - Add all ingredients together, (Oats, Quinoa, Raisins, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Salt) bring to boil then turn down heat and leave for half an hour.

3 - Let sit overnight, preferably in the fridge. If you are not familiar with Quinoa, this is the best way I know of to get it fully cooked and full of flavor. This step is important, if you do not let it sit for a few hours then you will get that "Uncooked Rice" texture in your meal.

4- Get it out of the fridge, around 2-3 table spoons is usually enough for me in the morning. Heat in a bit of milk or almond milk, add Walnuts and brown sugar or honey. You can skip that part and have it as it is but that's the way I prefer.

Thats it! Enjoy
