Quinoa for Breakfast

Quinoa is simply delightful dressed up like oatmeal in the morning. Topped with a bit of milk and either brown sugar or maple syrup you get a sweet warm bowl of cereal that has a unique crunch. The only downside is that quinoa takes so long to cook. I prepared a pot last night and stuck it in the fridge to heat up when we wanted it.

(The directions on the package from Bob's Red Mill indicated to use two cups of water, but I used three. I also increased the cooking time.)

3 cups water
1 cup quinoa

Bring the water to boil in a sauce pot. Add the quinoa and bring back up to a boil. Cook on medium heat until all of the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Allow the quinoa to sit and cool for another half an hour before putting it in the fridge.
