Black quinoa (like red) has a firmer texture than the white variety, and makes a great alternative to breakfast cereal. Soft avocado provides a great contrast. From Martha Stewart Living, January 2011 and Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup black quinoa |
1 1/2 cups almond milk |
1 thinly sliced avocado |
6 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds |
6 tablespoons honey |
Directions:
1. Bring water and salt to a boil.
2. Rinse dry quinoa well by placing in a sieve and rinsing with cold water until water runs clear.
3. Whisk the grains into the boiling water.
4. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 15 to 17 minutes.
5. Let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Fluff with a fork and top with almond milk, avocado, almonds, and honey.
