Cinnamon-Scented Breakfast Quinoa

Ingredients for Cinnamon-Scented Breakfast Quinoa

• 240ml quinoa (all red or a mix of red, white, or black)

• 350ml water

• 2 cinnamon sticks

• 1/4 teaspoons salt

• Broken or chopped walnuts, pure maple syrup or honey, milk, and flaky sea salt such as Maldon

Wash quinoa in several changes of water in a bowl, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off water (if quinoa does not settle, drain in a large fine-mesh sieve after each rinse), until water is clear.

Drain washed quinoa well in a large fine-mesh sieve.

Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep covered to keep warm. Remove cinnamon sticks.

Divide quinoa among bowls and top with walnuts, maple syrup or honey, milk, and sea salt.
