Ingredients
946-mL carton unsweetened original almond milk
1 cup quinoa
1/2 tsp cardamom, optional
1/4 cup sultana raisins
1/4 cup dried apricots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup skin-on whole almonds, preferably toasted
fresh mixed berries, for garnish
Instructions
Pour 2 cups almond milk into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. In a sieve, rinse quinoa, then stir into almond milk along with cardamom. Cover and bring back to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Using a fork, fluff. Cover and let stand until tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in extra almond milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until mixture is as thick as you like. Stir in raisins, apricots and almonds. Spoon into bowls. Pour a little more almond milk overtop. Sprinkle with berries. Great sweetened with honey, maple syrup or brown sugar.
