Quinoa with coconut milk is a delicious and healthy option that combines the texture and flavor of quinoa with the creaminess and sweetness of coconut milk.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (or 500 ml) coconut milk
- 1 cup quinoa (approx. 250 g)
- 3 tablespoons stevia
- The peel of one or two lemons
- 1 cinnamon stick
Preparation
- Soak the quinoa 24 hours in advance and rinse it thoroughly before cooking.
- In a pot, add the plant-based milk, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and sweetener (optional), and cook over medium heat.
- Once it starts to boil, add the quinoa and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to monitor the consistency. If the mixture starts drying out but the quinoa is not fully cooked, add a bit more plant-based milk.
- Once done, remove the lemon peel to prevent bitterness and transfer to containers.
- Let it cool and rest before serving.
