Raisin Spice Hot Cereal With Quinoa - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon almonds, silvered
3 tablespoons quinoa
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
2 tablespoons quick-cooking oatmeal
2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 1/4 cup soymilk or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream

Preparation

Rinse quinoa well with water to remove bitter coating; drain.
Place almonds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Combine quinoa, water, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the same saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the oats, replace cover, and cook for an additional 6 minutes. Add the almonds and sugar. Top with vanilla yogurt, milk, soymilk, or half and half cream, if using. Serve immediately.
