This recipe is so delicious I even eat it in the morning for breakfast!

Red Sprouted Quinoa (sprouting optional)
Golden Raisins
Pine Nuts

Basic Quinoa Ingredients: (from the Savvy Vegetarian)

* 1 cup quinoa
* 1 3/4 cups cold water
* Optional: 1/2 tsp salt

Quinoa Cooking Directions:

1. Soak the quinoa for 15 min – 1/2 hour in it’s cooking pot. Soaking helps quinoa to cook evenly, and loosens up the outer coating of saponin, which can give a bitter taste if not removed.
2. If you don’t have time for a longer soaking, use hot water and soak for five minutes
3. To Rinse: Stir the quinoa with your hand, and carefully pour off the rinsing water, using a fine mesh strainer at the last
4. Drain quinoa well in the strainer, transfer to the cooking pot, add 1 3/4 cups water & 1/2 tsp salt if desired
5. Bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, and turn the heat down to simmer
6. Cook for 20 minutes
7. Remove quinoa from heat and allow to sit five minutes with the lid on
8. Fluff quinoa gently with a fork and serve
9. Quinoa is delicious by itself or in any of the recipes below

Then add golden raisins and pine nuts.

Enjoy!
