1 cup quinoa, soaked for 10 minutes, rinsed, and drained
Pinch salt
1⁄4 cup maple syrup
1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
Directions
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 3 minutes.
Stir in soaked and drained quinoa and a pinch of salt. Decrease heat to medium low, cover, and cook until most of liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in maple syrup and cranberries.
Notes
Soaking the quinoa for 10 minutes helps soften the grain and remove its bitterness.
