Heart melting porridge #GF

It takes a clear mind, and healthy brain to choose and source our high end vintage wares, for you the discerning consumer. At Bleecker Street Vintage, we're a little bit hugely into food, and I've been experimenting with quinoa recently, specifically with recipes that go above and beyond salads. Quinoa is extremely high in protein and dietary fibre, is gluten free, and has a low glycemix index.
 
Therefore this winter breakfast recipe is super versatile and comforting.

Quinoa porridge!

You'll need:

½ cup well rinsed quinoa
1 cup milk (almond, soy, coconut or rice)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaped teaspoon maple syrup, raw honey

Place quinoa and milk in a small saucepan and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling turn the heat down to a simmer and add the cinnamon and honey. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the germ turns opaque. Rest with the lid on for a couple of minutes. Fluff up the quinoa with a fork and spoon into two bowls. 
Top with goji berries, dates, or cranberries, nuts and/or plain Greek yogurt.
Belissimo!


The mornings are bitterly cold at the moment, this and my quintessential flat white(sss) lure me from the nest each day.

We welcome any further ideas and winter comforts - send 'em through and we'll definitely try them out and potentially publish.
