Description

Kids love delicate, heart-healthy grain quinoa, especially when it takes on the familiar flavors of honey and cinnamon. Soaking the quinoa in warm water with yogurt makes it irresistibly fluffy, but if you don’t have time, simply cook the quinoa according to package directions and top each serving with the walnuts, cinnamon and honey.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water, Warm
• 1/2 cup walnuts, Chopped, divided
• 4 teaspoons honey, To taste
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups water, Cold
• 2 tablespoons yogurt, Whole
• 2 cups quinoa

Preparation

1. Together: Place the quinoa, warm water and yogurt together in a large glass bowl. Stir, cover and place in a warm area of your house for 12-24 hours.

2. Together: When the quinoa has finished soaking, strain in a fine meshed sieve and rinse until the water runs clear, taking care to move the quinoa with your hands to ensure all the quinoa is rinsed.

3. Adult: Transfer the quinoa to a medium pot with the remaining 2 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When water boils, turn head down to low, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed. Let cool for 5 minutes.

4. Together: Transfer the quinoa to 4 bowls. Divide the walnuts between the bowls. Season each with equal amounts of the cinnamon and honey to taste. Enjoy!
