Gather
- 200 g quinoa
- 550 ml milk of choice (or 1 whole pint)
- 1 standard cinnamon stick (or cassia)
- 5 standard cardamom pods
Prepare
-
Put the quinoa in a saucepan, cover with water and swirl the grains around until the water becomes milky. Tip the water out and repeat.
-
Cover the quinoa with 1-2cm of water, then bring the pan to the boil. Turn off the heat and discard all the water and foam. Rinse.
-
Making sure the pan and quinoa are free from any foam or scum, add the milk. Gently bring to the boil, then turn the heat off.
-
Carefully transfer the contents to an ovenproof dish. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods, then place in the oven. Bake at Gas Mark 6 (400f /200c) for 20-30 minutes. The quinoa is ready when all the liquid has been absorbed and the top is slightly browning.

Enjoy!
