Is There Such A Thing As A Good Quinoa Dessert Recipe?
When I first discovered quinoa I only had access to a few savoury dishes based on rice and cous cous recipes. Now that is fine as far as it goes but as someone who has a bit of a sweet tooth I soon starting trying out adding quinoa to desserts and puddings. As it has only a mild taste of its own it can be quite adaptable to this. There are 3 main methods of producing dessert dishes. The first and simplest way is what I call the milk pudding method. You bake the quinoa in the oven with milk and flaourings in the same way as you do with round grained rice. You need to cook it for at least 45 minutes but you do not need to prerinse it. The second cooking method is the porridge method. This is done in the hob. You cook your quinoa in the normal way but with more water and added flavourings to allow you to have a longer cooking time. 20 – 25 minutes. The porridge will go to a soft fluffy texture. The flavourings can be anything really but the ones I use are brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
