| Quinoa Pudding |
Since I was ten, I have been searching for the perfect non-rice pudding. My mom used to make the best rice pudding, and when we discovered I was allergic to rice, I had had my last bowl. *sigh* It has been so long that I do not remember the taste. Nonetheless, rice pudding was the inspiration for this dish. It is baked slowly with milk, like the old fashioned classic. Plump, juicy raisins and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon compliment the quinoa grains.
1.5 cups quinoa
1/3 to 2/3 cup maple syrup. (Think, "breakfast" or "dessert?")
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup seedless raisins
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Butter a casserole dish. Mix all of the ingredients except the raisins together in the dish. Bake for an hour at 300F, uncovered. Turn the oven down to 250F.
Stir the mixture up in the dish, and drop in the raisins. Return it to the oven to bake for another hour and a half at 250F.
Serve warm or cold. A night in the fridge makes for a great breakfast!
[Yes! This worked in the crock pot! Keep it on the lowest setting. At first I reduced the liquid but quickly learned that it not necessary.]

Another recipe that I can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteCould this be made in the crock pot?
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not... It is cooked for hours, really slowly. The only thing about a crock pot is how it limits evaporation. Less liquid, maybe?
DeleteThe only time I had quinoa was at a demo at work. I thought it was tough and chewy but then I found out that it might taste that way if it was not properly cooked. I'll have to try it again.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
