Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove the natural coating called saponin which can make quinoa taste bitter.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups (500ml) of water or milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.
- Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the dry cocoa powder and sugar until they are fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- If you find the porridge too thick, you can add a little more milk or water to reach your desired consistency. Stir continuously to incorporate.
- While the quinoa is cooking, roughly chop the almonds.
- If using fresh raspberries, rinse and drain them. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw slightly.
- Spoon the chocolate quinoa porridge into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with an even distribution of raspberries and chopped almonds.
- Serve the choc coconut quinoa porridge warm. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove its natural saponin coating, which can make it taste bitter.
- You can use coconut milk instead of water to cook the quinoa for an extra creamy texture and enhanced coconut flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt to the quinoa while cooking to enhance the overall flavor of the porridge.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less sugar or using a sweetener of your choice.
- Garnish with additional fruits like sliced bananas or strawberries for added freshness and nutrition.
Enjoy your warm and hearty Choc Coconut Quinoa Porridge topped with fresh raspberries and crunchy almonds. This dish is sure to keep you energized and satisfied throughout your morning. It's a perfect blend of flavors and textures that will make breakfast your favorite meal of the day!
