QUINOA PUDDING

The Rice Diet Solution by Kitty Gurkin Rosati, Robert Rosati

Enjoy this versatile pudding for breakfast, brunch, snack, or dessert.
Yield: 4 servings (3/4 cup per serving)
 

Ingredients
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1/3 cup raisins or dried cherries
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
• 2 bananas
• 1/3 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
• 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


Directions
Rinse quinoa in hot water and drain while waiting for water to boil. This is an important step since quinoa contains a phytochemical called saponin, which has a bitter taste if not well rinsed.

Add quinoa to boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Boil quinoa for 10 minutes, then add raisins or dried cherries and boil for another 5 minutes.

While quinoa is cooking, put remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Add the blended ingredients into the quinoa and simmer for 5 more minutes, or until desired consistency is achieved.
