Bowl of cooked grains with fresh apple slices and chopped green pistachios for Quinoa Porridge

How do you make sweet quinoa porridge?

Wash the quinoa very well to remove the saponin. Cook it with plant-based milk over low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, add maple syrup and lemon zest, and let it rest for 10 minutes so it absorbs the liquid. Serve the porridge warm, topped with fresh apple, pistachios, almonds, and sunflower seeds.

Ingredients

100 g quinoa
250 ml unsweetened brown rice or almond milk
12 g shelled unsalted pistachios
12 g shelled unsalted almonds
16 g shelled unsalted sunflower seeds
1 apple
Zest of 1 organic lemon
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

The secret to preparing quinoa is washing it perfectly. First, place it in a bowl with clean water and stir well to remove the saponin, a bitter substance that completely coats the grains. After rinsing it well in this water, drain it through a sieve and rinse it under the tap another 3 or 4 times, until the water runs clear. This step is quite quick and will take no more than 3-4 minutes.
Place the well-washed and drained quinoa in a medium saucepan and pour in the plant-based milk.
Bring to a boil.
Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat and simmer covered with a lid for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat, add the maple syrup and grated lemon zest, stir well, and let rest for another 10 minutes.
At this point, our sweet quinoa will be ready. There will still be a little liquid left, but we did that on purpose by cooking it with a bit of extra liquid. Coarsely chop the pistachios and almonds, and cut the apple into slices.
Serve by dividing it evenly into portions, also adding the sunflower seeds.

Enjoy your meal!
