Makes 2 servings
1/2 cup dry quinoa
1 cup water
2 teaspoons butter
1 medium apple of your choice, diced with skins on
1- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice
a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1. In a small, heavy bottomed sauce pan, bring water and quinoa to a
boil for 2 minutes. Lower to a simmer and cover for about 15 minutes,
or until the quinoa has absorbed the water, puffs up, and turns
translucent. If the water has evaporated before the quinoa is cooked,
just add a bit more water. Quinoa should maintain a slight crunch when
cooked.
2. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add apples and
cook 2 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Add walnuts,
apple pie spice, and salt. Cook 1 minute more. Add to quinoa and stir.
3. Divide quinoa into two bowls, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot.
