Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup quinoa (all red
1 1/2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 tsp salt
broken or chopped walnuts , pure maple syrup or honey , milk , and flaky sea salt such as maldon

Directions:

Wash quinoa in several changes of water in a bowl, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off water (if quinoa does not settle, drain in a large fine-mesh sieve after each rinse), until water is clear.
Drain washed quinoa well in a large fine-mesh sieve.
Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep covered to keep warm. Remove cinnamon sticks.
Divide quinoa among bowls and top with walnuts, maple syrup or honey, milk, and sea salt.
Cooks' notes: The quinoa will stay warm, covered but off the heat, for 15 to 20 minutes. Even if a package says that the quinoa is prewashed, washing it is still recommended. The cinnamon sticks can be washed off, dried, and reused. (I leave mine out in a small bowl near the oven so they can really dry out.)
