Ingredients

This dish also makes a delicious dessert, Quinoa Brule

Makes 3 ½ - 4 cups

2 cups (500ml) milk
1 cup (180g) quinoa, rinsed
2 tbsps brown sugar + extra for serving
1 tsp ground cinnamon + extra for serving
1 cup (250g) Jalna Sweet & Creamy Greek Yoghourt + extra for serving

Method

Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in Jalna yoghourt, blueberries and some of the pecans and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional sugar or drizzle of honey, cinnamon, Jalna yoghourt, blueberries and pecans.

Try: Substitute or add other fresh or frozen fruit, such as nectarines, peaches, poached fruit, fruit compote or dried fruit and flaked almonds.

Quinoa Brule

Put cooked quinoa and fruit in a heat proof glass. Sprinkle castor sugar over the top and place under a hot grill or under a blow torch to caramelise. Serve immediately.
