Pear & Rhubarb Quinoa Porridge
GF | DF | EF | NF | RSF
- Small Saucepan
- Measuring Cup:
- Stirring Spoon
- Lid
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup coconut or full cream milk
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 ripe spotty banana or 2 tsp honey for sweetness
For the stewed fruit
- 200g rhubarb – roughly one bunch
- 200g pear – roughly two pears
- 4 tbsp fresh orange juice – roughly one orange
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginge
-
Begin by making the stewed fruit. Rinse and chop the rhubarb and pear into small pieces. Place in a small saucepan with the orange juice and finely grated ginger over a low heat
-
Place a lid on top of the saucepan and allow the fruit to simmer over a low heat for roughly 15 minutes until soft
-
Add the quinoa to another small saucepan (note you can soak the quinoa overnight) with the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid for roughly 7 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed
-
Pour in the milk, chia seeds and cinnamon and bring back up to a simmer, then cover the saucepan with the lid once more and allow the quinoa to cook on low for another 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes
-
Once the quinoa is soft and the porridge is no longer runny, you can remove the saucepan from the heat and if using, you can either mash in the banana or mix in the honey
-
To serve top with the stewed fruit
AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals a day
* For young babies you can omit the banana/honey in the quinoa porridge as the stewed fruit adds sweetness & flavour
