Pineapple Quinoa Dessert

A friend borrowed me her cookbook, The Art of Cooking Quinoa by Marie Baez Kijac.

Seeing that I am on a Quinoa kick I decided to try this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa-thoroughly rinsed


• 2 cups water

Directions:

1. Put above ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan. Bring to boil and then reduce heat and continue cooking until all liquid is absorbed. That will be about 12 minutes.


2. Add:

• 1 cup vanilla or almond soy milk


• A slight 1/4 cup agave nectar


• Cook for a few more minutes.

Add:

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


• 2 cups fresh diced pineapple- that is equivalent to a medium size pineapple

Add:

• 2 tablespoons corn starch mixed with 2 Tablespoons water.


• Add to mixture. Cook until thick.

Cool.

Add:

• 6 oz container plain yogurt of choice. I added pineapple yogurt.


• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Serve in dessert containers topped with strawberries and chopped walnuts.

Enjoy!!!
